OpenType Info

CFF
Compact Font Format (Adobe PostScript®) A compression technique used to reduce the size of PostScript outlines in OpenType fonts.


character
Character. (1) The smallest component of written language that has semantic value; refers to the abstract meaning and/or shape, rather than a specific shape (see also glyph), though in code tables some form of visual representation is essential for the reader’s understanding. (2) The basic unit of encoding for the Unicode™ character encoding.

Digital Signature
OpenType fonts may contain digital signatures. Digital signatures allow operating systems and web browsers to validate the integrity and identify the source of files before using them.


embedding
Embedding controls the way how fonts may be integrated into documents for further use. Depending on the rights embedded fonts allow you to view, print, edit or install a font used in a document when the document is moved to a computer that does not have the font installed locally.


OpenType supports the following embedding types:

UNICODE
UNICODE provides a standardized numbering system for glyphs. Essentially every glyph has a UNICODE. The standard is global and allows the exchange of documents set in different languages and scripts regardless of the computer system used to read or type the text.
