What is a VFB file

VFB files mostly belong to FontForge. VFB files are used for specific tasks.
For one purpose, they act as a vector font binary file. They store data such as scalable glyph outlines and font metadata. Software like FontForge and FontLab use this format to manage font databases.
Another purpose is to hold free/busy calendar data. This type of file contains scheduling information that Microsoft Outlook uses to show calendar availability. You can view these files with Outlook.

Use FontForge for vector font data.

Use Outlook for calendar scheduling data.

How to open VFB files

You need a suitable software like FontForge to open a VFB file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your VFB file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a VFB file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
