- Description
- The TrueType Font Collection (TTC) file type is a container format that can hold multiple TrueType fonts (TTF) within a single file. This format is designed to optimize storage and sharing of font families or closely related fonts by combining them into a single file, reducing the overall file size compared to storing each TrueType font individually. TTC files are supported by various operating systems and software applications for desktop publishing and graphic design, allowing users to efficiently manage and use multiple fonts.
- Group 4 (G4) used for black and white lossless compression to maintain high-quality images, commonly used in TIFF format compression by fax machines. A picture is seen as black dots and lines on a blank page; the fewer the dots and lines are, the lesser the file size.
