In a pinch, fontforge can open ttcs too and you can save each version one at a time.



They follow standard font naming conventions, so I used the Text version since that's optimized for body text at a variety of small sizes which is how I read; Display is usually meant for headers or font sizes larger than 14 pt (but if you exclusively read in large print, maybe the Display versions of fonts might be a better fit for use).

For kobo libra which one is preferable? Text or display font?
