Cidfont-f1 F2 F3 F4 F5 F6 -
Let us assume you truly have six files named Cidfont-f1.ps, Cidfont-f2.ps, etc. These are likely PostScript Type 9 (CIDFontType 0) files. Here is what each file contains:
| Component | Description |
| :--- | :--- |
| CIDFont dictionary | Contains CIDFontName, CIDFontVersion, CIDSystemInfo (which tells you the language: Japanese, Chinese, Korean). |
| FDArray | Font Descriptor Array, containing multiple sub-fonts (for different stroke weights or character sets). |
| Glyph metrics | W (widths) and DW (default width) arrays. |
| CharStrings | The actual bezier curve data for each CID (up to 65k glyphs). |
If the F1-F6 labels map to different CMaps, then: Cidfont-f1 F2 F3 F4 F5 F6
A proper CID font name looks like these examples:
But what about Cidfont-f1? That is not a standard foundry name. It suggests a placeholder name generated automatically by software when a true CID font is missing or when a system falls back to a generic CID handler. Let us assume you truly have six files named Cidfont-f1
Finally, F6 is the heavy lifter: ultra-bold, minimal counters, and a nearly monolinear thickness that borders on slab. It is designed for extreme conditions: billboards, low-resolution screens, emergency alerts, or accessible interfaces for visually impaired users. F6 also serves as the “lock” in a hierarchy—terminating a section, anchoring a footer, or highlighting a final warning. Psychologically, F6 conveys finality and permanence. It does not invite discussion; it states a conclusion. F6 proclaims: Stop. This is the end of the matter.
