Record marked as obsolete and not updated for a long time.
The PHF format is associated with FontLab Photofont, FontLab's software for creating and using Photofont fonts.
A Photofont uses photographic or image-based glyphs that can appear like a regular font when applied to text. The font can be used to typeset several lines of text with a selected custom design.
The format is obsolete and is not widely supported by current font software.
Open the .phf file with FontLab Photofont, if that software is available. Current operating systems and font managers may not recognize the format.
If the file does not open, it may require the original Photofont installation or an older compatible system.
There is no broadly supported direct converter for PHF fonts. If FontLab Photofont can open the file, use any export option provided by that software.
Because Photofont glyphs are image-based, conversion to a conventional outline font may not preserve the original appearance.
