TTF: TrueType (Quadratic) Outlines

One design in TrueType outlines: quadratic contours in a glyf table with a loca index. Its CFF twin carries the same design in cubic charstrings, so converting one and diffing against the other tests an outline converter rather than a whole font pipeline. Original typeface, free to use.

Testing contract

Reference control
Scenario
Convert this file to CFF outlines and compare the result with the OTF twin.
Expected result
The glyph shapes match within curve-conversion tolerance; this file is 6336 bytes with glyf and loca, the twin is 4868 bytes with a CFF table and no loca.

What is a .ttf file?

TTF (TrueType Font) is a scalable outline font format developed by Apple and Microsoft that uses quadratic Bezier curves and includes hinting for sharp rendering at small sizes. It stores glyph outlines, metrics, and character mappings in a single file. It is one of the most widely supported desktop and web font formats.

How to use this file

Use an example TTF to test font parsers, glyph and metric extraction, text-rendering pipelines, and converters that produce web font formats like WOFF.

How to use this file for testing

“TTF: TrueType (Quadratic) Outlines” is a deterministic Testaroo fixture for Conversion testing, Web assets. The same content exported across many formats and linked as a group, so you can convert one and diff against the expected twin.

Documented properties for this file: seed 20260807. Compare results against paired or grouped companions on this page when present (clean↔damaged, searchable↔scanned, or format twins) so scores stay reproducible across runs.

Download the file once, keep the path stable in CI or local scripts, and treat the spec table as the contract: dimensions, seeds, field lists, and roles are intentional. Corrupt or invalid samples are labelled as such, expect parsers to fail loudly rather than silently accept them.

Font fixtures carry a small documented glyph set across the common wrappers. Test font loaders, subsetting, and @font-face; the specimen preview renders the glyphs the face actually maps.

Code examples

@font-face {
  font-family: "Sample";
  src: url("NovusOutlinesTrueType.ttf");
}
body { font-family: "Sample", sans-serif; }
