Adobe Inc.

Adobe publishes foundational technical specifications for digital typography, font formats, and document interchange — including the Adobe Glyph List, PostScript Language Reference, CIDFont specifications, and the Adobe-Japan/Korea/CJK character collections. These underpin modern text rendering engines and CJK font workflows.

IndustrySyntax Adobe identifiers use two shapes: slug-keyed publications (Adobe Glyph List, Adobe-Japan1-7) and numbered Technical Notes (Adobe Technical Note #5014, ATN5014). Website →
