How are point locations described in TrueType fonts?
DFONTSPLITTER SERIES
A glyph outline consists of a series of contours. In a TrueType font, glyph shapes are described by their outlines. It also documents the placement of glyphs with respect to the coordinate axes. This section describes the coordinate system used to establish the locations of the points that define a glyph outline. How are glyph outlines described in TrueType fonts? When outlines are rasterized, TrueType “hinting” instructions contained in a font can be used to refine the rasterized results. OpenType supports the TrueType glyph outline format, in which a glyph outline is described as second-order Bezier splines. How is the TrueType format used in OpenType? Whatever the case, it is necessary to create a TrueType font file that, among other things, describes each glyph in the font as an outline in the TrueType format. TrueType fonts can also be obtained by converting fonts from other formats.

TTF depends solely on glyph tables that define how each character looks while OTF is able to use glyphs along with CCF (Compact Font Format) tables. TTF stands for TrueType Font, a relatively older font, while OTF stands for OpenType Font, which was based in part on the TrueType standard. What’s the difference between OTF and TTF fonts? Significant difference between the two is in their capabilities. In other words, OTF is indeed the “better” of the two due to the additional features and options, but for the average computer user, those differences don’t really matter. Let the file convert and you can download your otf file right afterwards.įor designers, both amateur and professional, the main useful difference between OTF and TTF is in the advanced typesetting features.
