# Supported Fonts

The following font types are supported:

- Adobe Postscript Type 1 fonts: A single-byte font type designed for Roman language fonts; one of the earliest cross-platform (Macintosh and Windows) fonts. These fonts consist of an outline font file and an Adobe font metrics (AFM) file. On Linux systems, the outline file must be a printer font ascii (.pfa) file, not a printer font binary (.pfb) file as on Windows machines.
- TrueType fonts: A widely used cross-platform font format, easily installed on Linux systems.
- CID (Character ID) fonts: A multi-byte adaptation of Adobe Postscript® Type 1 fonts, well-suited to representing the large character sets of Asian languages such as Japanese, Korean, and Chinese.
- OpenType® fonts: A cross-platform font developed jointly by Adobe and Microsoft®, supporting expanded character sets and layout features such as the euro currency symbol and the broad range of accented characters required by eastern European languages.
