When I doubleclicked on a font with ttf icon a build-in windows font preview window appeared with info that it is, indeed, a true type font. When I clicked on a *.ttf font with an OpenType icon a font preview window appeared stating that this is OpenType font with TrueType outlines.
Wait ...  ... I am using some of those OpenType-disguised-as-TrueType fonts in my reader at the moment ...
I rushed to wikipedia and looked up "Open Type"
So I grabed some *.otf fonts I found on the net (and wanted to convert to ttf but did not know how ;-) ), renamed them to *.otf.ttf and copied onto /system/fonts/ folder on my PocketBook.
It works!
Yet another point from my wishlist - support for otf fonts - was just fulfiled. 
Just a reminder.
You can also rename *.ttc to *.ttf and load directly to PocketBook. |
How could you rush to wikipedia when you had only to look up
fonts in our own wiki
