Both formats, briefly
PFAIN
PFA is a PostScript Type 1 font written out as readable ASCII. The outlines are cubic curves stored as PostScript code you can open in a text editor, which is part of why the format lingered in places where fonts get inspected or patched by hand. You will run into PFA in TeX and LaTeX installations, older print pipelines and PostScript imagesetter setups. Since design software has dropped Type 1 support, converting PFA to OTF is the usual way to keep an old typeface in service.
WOFFOUT
WOFF takes a TrueType or OpenType font, compresses it and attaches metadata about its origin, producing a file meant for downloading rather than installing. The W3C published it so sites could stop serving raw TTF and OTF, and every browser in general use supports it. Convert to WOFF when your web font also has to work in somewhat older browser versions. For new projects, WOFF2 squeezes the same outlines down further.
