What is? OTF File Format and How to Open it?
Working together, Adobe and Microsoft developed an Open Type Format (OTF) font file system in the late 1990s. Though it is based on the TrueType font system, it also supports font features like outlines, ligatures, and hints that are like those found in PostScript. Cross-platform Open Type Fonts (OTF) fonts could thus be used on both Mac and Windows-based machines.
An Open Type Font (OTF) font file is a digital file having a set of font data containing a set of outlines (curves and lines) characterizing every character in the font. The program will retrieve the outlines from the OTF file and then use those outlines to create the correct glyphs (characters) on the screen when it is required for a program to show text in a particular font.
Print papers as well as online documents—including webpages and electronic books—using files of the Open Text Format (OTF). Furthermore used in the creation of logos and other types of artwork requiring a range of typefaces are they.
Any tool that supports the Open Type font style allows one to open and display Open Type font files (OTF files). Among these such programs are InDesign, Illustrator, and Adobe Photoshop. Opening them with any text editor, such as Notepad or TextEdit is also possible; unfortunately, under these conditions, the outlines will not show. Accessing an access type font (OTF) file requires making sure your computer has the required font installed. Should you not currently have the font installed, you can obtain it from the internet.
