This is specified in the `black book'; the ID strings can be either `%!FontType1-1.0' or `%!PS-AdobeFont-1.0' (the latter identifies a PostScript resource). http://wwwimages.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/font/pdfs/T1_SPEC.pdf > Is there any documentation about these functions as i am unable to > track them and know what they are actually doing? 2) if i am wrong > than how is this, checking header format part working in Type1 > driver. The PFB format is documented in Adobe Technote #5040. http://wwwimages.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/font/pdfs/5040.Download_Fonts.pdf Note that #5040 also defines `PFA'; however, this is not used today. Instead, a PFA is simply a PostScript resource where the eexec part is ASCII encoded instead of binary.
