I no longer need this font on Windows, but now I'm determined to figure out why & how-to :-) However, I still get an error message similar to the one above when I try to install the resulting AmericanTypewriter.ttf onto Windows.
(Why have a collection with only one file!?)
The resulting executable extracted a single file, "AmericanTypewriter.ttf", from the TTC / True Type Collection. UPDATE: I downloaded the source code for a simple ttc2ttf utility (ttc2ttf_AA.tar.gz) found at this Japanese page and compiled it under cygwin via g++. "Cannot install (FONTNAME).ttc - The file '(FONTNAME).ttc' does not appear to be a valid font."Ĭan *.TTC format font files be installed on Windows? If so, how? Thanks! I was able to copy the actual font file over to the PC, but when I try to install it into the Windows Fonts folder I get the following error message: I'd like to use that font on my PC, for a specific creative project. On my Mac is a font called "AmericanTypewriter.ttc".
Furthermore, they contain new line and typographic layouts with the already known technology of TrueType and PostScript.I own both a Mac running OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, and a PC running Windows 7. They are fully scalable and can thus be resized without any loss in quality. Like TrueType Font files, the OTF format also contains aspects of the equally popular PostScript format, creating a single file that combines both aspects. However, with widely varying rendering technologies in use today, pixel-level control is no longer certain in a TrueType font. The primary strength of TrueType was original that it offered font developers a high degree of control over precisely how their fonts are displayed, right down to particular pixels, at various font sizes. What sets the OTF format apart from other font file formats is that it is scalable.
This OpenType Font format is similar to the TTF (TrueType Font) format. It was developed by both Adobe and Microsoft and introduced to Mac OS X and Windows 2000. The OTF file is most commonly associated with computer fonts. It has become the most common format for fonts on both the Mac OS and Microsoft Windows operating systems. TrueType is an outline font standard developed by Apple and Microsoft in the late 1980s as a competitor to Adobe's Type 1 fonts used in PostScript.
