CFF What is CFF File Format

Compact Font Format or CFF is also known as Type 2 font format, or CFF/Type 2 font format. It is said that CFF is not exactly the font format but the way to compress other font formats, like Type 1. Like Type 1 and TrueType formats, CFF also uses hinting. It uses the same methods to represent hints as Type 1, but they are easier and cleaner to write in code and offer a notable space saving.

SVG What is SVG File Format

SVG or Scalable Vector Graphics font is a type of font format that is based on the SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) standard which is an XML-based language aimed to describe two-dimensional vector graphics. On contrary to TrueType or OpenType, which are based on raster graphics and can become pixelated when scaled up, SVG fonts are scaled up losslessly.
