Open Font Format

Abstract
Multimedia and web applications and content utilize a broad range of media-related standards. In addition to the typical audio and video content, multimedia presentations often include scalable 2D graphics and text supporting all languages of the world. Faithful reproduction of scalable multimedia content requires additional components including scalable font technology. The Open Font Format is a widely-supported format for font data with a rich set of capabilities for digital typography. It is based on the OpenType(R) font format, which was originally developed as an extension of the TrueType(TM) font format, using the same container structure, and maintaining compatibility for fonts created following the original TrueType specification.
