About formats

CFF (Compact Font Format) is a font outline format developed by Adobe Systems around 1996 as a more efficient successor to the Type 1 font representation. CFF uses Type 2 charstrings — an optimized encoding that supports multiple arguments per operator, default value elision, and shared subroutines — to describe the same cubic Bezier glyph outlines as Type 1 but with substantially less storage. A typical CFF font is 20-50% smaller than its Type 1 equivalent. The format can function as a standalone font file or, more commonly, as the outline data table inside an OpenType font container (the CFF table in OTF files with PostScript outlines). CFF supports multiple fonts within a single file through its FontSet structure, sharing global subroutines across the collection to further reduce size. One advantage is compression efficiency without lossy degradation — every control point and hint is preserved exactly, just encoded more compactly. The format also inherits the full hinting capability of Type 1, including stem hints, counter hints, and alignment zones that ensure crisp rendering on low-resolution screens and printers. CFF2, an evolution introduced with OpenType 1.8, adds support for font variations (variable fonts) by allowing interpolation across multiple design axes. Broad support in PDF viewers, web browsers via OpenType, and professional design software makes CFF one of the most widely deployed outline formats in digital typography.

JPG is the most common file extension for images compressed with the JPEG standard, published by the Joint Photographic Experts Group as ISO/IEC 10918-1 in September 1992. The three-letter .jpg extension became dominant due to the 8.3 filename limitation of MS-DOS and early Windows, while .jpeg is the full-length variant — both extensions represent identical file contents and compression. JPEG applies lossy compression using the discrete cosine transform (DCT), dividing images into 8x8 pixel blocks, transforming them into frequency coefficients, quantizing to discard visually insignificant data, and entropy-coding the result. Users control the compression level: higher quality retains more detail at larger file sizes, while lower quality achieves dramatic size reduction with increasing visible artifacts in complex textures. The format supports 24-bit true color (16.7 million colors) and 8-bit grayscale, with Exif metadata embedding camera model, exposure settings, orientation, GPS location, and creation timestamp. One advantage is unmatched device compatibility — JPG is the native output format of virtually every digital camera and smartphone, and is displayed by every image viewer, browser, and operating system in existence. Efficient photographic compression is another strength: real-world photographs with smooth gradients and complex textures compress extremely well under DCT, typically achieving 10:1 reduction at high visual quality. JPG images power the vast majority of photographic content across the web, email, social media, and digital archives worldwide.
