Conversion Quality Deep Dive
Xonvert preserves embedded metadata (EXIF, XMP, ID3 tags, etc.) whenever the FON Bitmap Font format supports it. Format-exclusive metadata fields that have no equivalent in FON Bitmap Font are gracefully omitted without affecting the converted content. Quality in this conversion depends primarily on your source file. A high-quality PCF Bitmap Font input produces an excellent FON Bitmap Font output. Since the target format is lossless, output quality matches your input exactly. PCF Bitmap Font encodes data using mathematical algorithms that preserve every data point. FON Bitmap Font prioritizes exact data preservation. The conversion maps between these approaches intelligently.
Font format conversion from PCF Bitmap Font to FON Bitmap Font re-packages glyph outlines, kerning tables, and OpenType features into the target container. Hinting information may be adapted for the target rendering engine. This conversion is essential when deploying fonts across web, desktop, and mobile platforms that require different font formats.
