2019年7月26日 · OTF supports alignment zones / blue zones, which marks stems, and key parts of the glyphs to enable the OS to render the letters. TTF uses full-on hinting, which is much more involved than the zones in OTF. So what matters more, is …

2022年7月10日 · The OTF/TTF terminology is a bit confusing. OTF means OpenTypeFont or OpenTypeFormat. All fonts today (and probably since 2005) are supplied as an OTF font, with either an ".otf" or ".ttf" file extension. An OTF file contains loads of information about the font, including obviously the shapes of the characters. These are defined either as CFF (PostScript …

2018年6月17日 · Since the OTF-format is a descendant of the TTF-format, the latter has obviously existed for a much longer time (since the mid-90s if I recall correctly).

2020年5月1日 · The only problem is that I lack the knowledge on how to export my font to a usable format on Windows, macOS and Linux (.otf or .ttf) I own both Affinity Designer and Affinity Photo, so if there's a plug-in, app or website that can export my font as a usable font that still grants me all the rights to use and distribute the font under a GPL or ...

2023年5月8日 · Yes, there are several command-line tools that can batch convert fonts from one format to another in the Terminal. One such tool is FontForge, a free and open-source font editor. To batch convert .otf files to .ttf files using FontForge, you can use the following command: fontforge -script -c 'Open($1); Generate($2);' input.otf output.ttf This command will convert the …

2021年11月20日 · If you have documents that use the TTF version then you might need the TTF version. While OTF is the successor to TTF, it's possible a TTF font has symbols for certain code points the OTF font doesn't have, or certain font metrics that a document using the TTF font needs to render correctly.
