FAQ

What is otf?

otf, or OpenType Font, is a font format developed by Microsoft and Adobe that enhances the capabilities of traditional font formats like TrueType. OpenType fonts support a variety of features, including ligatures, alternate characters, and various typographic options, making them a preferred choice for designers and typographers. The otf format can encapsulate both TrueType and PostScript outlines, allowing for rich typography across different platforms. It also facilitates the embedding of font data within documents, ensuring consistent text rendering regardless of the environment.

What is TTF?

TTF, or TrueType Font, is a widely used font format that was originally developed by Apple and later adopted by Microsoft. TrueType fonts are known for their scalability and high-quality rendering on both screen and print. TTF files contain detailed information about glyph outlines, metrics, and kerning data, allowing for precise control over how text appears. They are compatible with various operating systems and applications, making them a standard choice for digital typography.

How does the conversion from OTF to TTF happen?

The conversion process from OTF to TTF involves several steps to ensure the font data is accurately transformed between the two formats:

1. Reading the otf file: The converter first reads the data from the otf font file, including glyph outlines, features, and metrics.
2. Data transformation: The converter then transforms the font data into the TrueType format, adapting the glyph outlines and metrics as necessary. During this process, any advanced typographic features unique to otf may be simplified or omitted, as TTF does not support them all.
3. Creating the TTF file: After transforming the data, the converter generates a new TTF file containing the converted font. This file can then be used in applications that support TrueType fonts.
