Mac OS X also works with font formats used by Microsoft Windows. Mac OS included support of TTC starting with Mac OS 8.5. They were first available in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean versions of Windows, and supported for all regions in Windows 2000 and later. So, this surely is a file claiming to use Microsoft's TrueType Collection format. Indeed, the first 4 bytes are the magic number for ttcf: hexdump -C -n 4 /Library/Fonts/AmericanTypewriter.ttc Library/Fonts/AmericanTypewriter.ttc: TrueType font collection data On a Mac, the font in /Library/Fonts/AmericanTypewriter.ttc is identified as: $ file /Library/Fonts/AmericanTypewriter.ttc I guess you're just out of luck with this specific font (without converting it). And that report will be able to give you a starting point on what needs to be fixed, and/or if it even can be. That will give you an report listing any issues with the font. Find the font you installed, and choose File -> Validate font. You should now have the full display of font book, listing all the fonts installed on the system. Double Click on the font, and font book should open giving you a preview of the font. I haven't been able to find a free converter at this point.Ĭopy the extracted Font to the Macintosh.
They do have a trial edition, but purchasing it would be $79. But natively, Windows doesn't support TTC's.įont Creator allows you to crack open the TTC archive, and extra specific fonts out of it. So, you could probably use an Font manager to assist with the TTC. Please note, that Windows does not directly support TTC fonts, according to Adobe. Multiple Master (Mac OS X 10.2 and later only).So any corrections, and changes, are appreciated. This information is based on information that I have gleemed from many different sources, including Adobe's support documents. 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". I own both a Mac running OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, and a PC running Windows 7.
