TTF vs OTF vs WOFF2

Feature	TTF	OTF	WOFF2
Outlines	Quadratic (TrueType)	Cubic (CFF/CFF2)	Either (wrapper)
File size	Medium	Medium	~30% smaller
Desktop use	Universal	Universal	Web only
Web use	Supported	Supported	Best choice
Best for	Desktop apps, OS fonts	Print, advanced typo	Web performance

How to use TTF with @font-face

@font-face {
  font-family: 'MyFont';
  src: url('font.woff2') format('woff2'),
       url('font.ttf') format('truetype');
  font-weight: 400;
  font-style: normal;
  font-display: swap;
}

Always list WOFF2 first (smallest), TTF as fallback. Use font-display: swap to prevent invisible text during font loading.

Frequently Asked Questions

TTF vs OTF — What is the difference?

TTF (TrueType) uses quadratic Bézier curves while OTF (OpenType CFF) uses cubic curves. TTF has better screen hinting on Windows; OTF produces smoother curves for print. Both are supported everywhere. For web use, the difference is negligible — convert either to WOFF2. TTF is preferred for desktop/OS fonts; OTF for professional design and print.

How to install fonts on Windows, Mac, and Linux?

Windows: double-click the .ttf file → click Install, or drag to C:\Windows\Fonts. macOS: double-click → click Install Font (Font Book). Linux: copy to ~/.local/share/fonts/ then run fc-cache -f -v. Our sample TTF files let you test font installation workflows on all platforms.

Best font format for web?

WOFF2 is the best font format for web — 30% smaller than TTF/OTF due to Brotli compression, with 97%+ browser support. Use @font-face with WOFF2 first, TTF as fallback. For desktop apps and OS installation, use TTF (widest support) or OTF (better curves).

What is the typical size of a TTF font file?

A Latin-only TTF with ~200 glyphs is typically 20-50KB. A multilingual font with 1000+ glyphs can be 100-500KB. CJK fonts (Chinese/Japanese/Korean) with 10,000+ glyphs can exceed 5MB. Web font subsetting can dramatically reduce file size.

How do I convert TTF to WOFF2?

CLI: woff2_compress font.ttf (Google's woff2 tool). Python: pyftsubset font.ttf --output-file=font.woff2 --flavor=woff2 (fonttools). Online: FontSquirrel Webfont Generator or Transfonter. The conversion is lossless.
