Both formats, briefly
PFBIN
PFB holds the same PostScript Type 1 data as PFA, written as binary instead of ASCII, so the file is smaller and faster for a driver to parse. It was the Windows side of the Type 1 world and still turns up across prepress archives, older DTP documents and printer font folders. Applications have retired Type 1 support almost everywhere, which leaves conversion as the route to a file that will still install. Turn a PFB into OTF or TTF when a font you depend on has stopped loading.
OTFOUT
OpenType came from Microsoft and Adobe, and it is how professional type is published. It can hold outlines as cubic PostScript curves rather than quadratic ones, covers character sets far beyond Latin, and carries the tables that drive ligatures, small caps, alternate figures and contextual substitutions. Reach for OTF when a typeface has features you plan to use in InDesign, Illustrator or another engine that supports them. For a web page, convert it to WOFF2 first so visitors download less.
