Member Bra… Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 Since I'm a newbie in typography, I'm looking for a source (preferably a video) to understand the differences between .ttf and .otf files. I always thought OpenType features could only be implemented in .otf files (maybe due to the extension name), but I just realized in a .ttf file we could have contextual alternates and modified kernings.

Ralf Herrmann Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 Long story short: the suffix doesn’t say much. ttf is a font with TrueType outlines. It may or may not contain OpenType features. otf is usually a font with PostScript outlines. It may or may not contain OpenType features. Link to comment
