Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Bézier curve" in English language version.
The OpenType format was formulated in 1996. By 2003, it began to replace two competing formats: the Type1 fonts, developed by Adobe and based on [P]ost[S]cript, and the TrueType fonts, specified by Microsoft and Apple. (...) TTF stands for TrueTypeFont and indicates that the font data is the same as in the TrueType fonts. CFF stands for the Type1 font format. Strictly speaking, it refers to the Compact Font Format, which is used in the compression processes for the Type2 fonts. (...) the cubic Bézier format of the Type1 fonts is more space-saving compared to the quadratic format of the TrueType fonts. Some kilobytes can be saved in large, elaborate fonts which may represent an advantage on the Web. On the other hand, the more detailed hinting information of the TrueType fonts is useful for very extensive optimization for screen use.
