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.
TTFOUT
TrueType came out of a joint Apple and Microsoft effort and is still the format operating systems install by default. Each glyph is drawn with quadratic curves, and the file carries hinting instructions telling the renderer how to snap strokes onto the pixel grid at small sizes. That makes TTF a dependable choice for interface type, office documents and anything headed to a printer. When you are unsure which desktop format an application will accept, TTF is usually the one it does.
