• TrueType (TTF): Developed by Apple and Microsoft in the late 1980s, TrueType stores glyph outlines using quadratic Bézier curves and embeds hinting instructions to improve legibility at small sizes. TrueType files are widely supported across operating systems and were the dominant desktop format for many years.
• OpenType (OTF): A later, more flexible format jointly developed by Microsoft and Adobe. OpenType can contain glyph outlines in either TrueType (quadratic) or PostScript/CFF (cubic) outlines, plus advanced typographic features (ligatures, contextual substitutions, alternate glyphs, kerning classes, language-specific shaping) via an integrated layout table.
• Practical differences: For a user, OpenType's main advantages are advanced typographic controls and broader international script support. TrueType still offers excellent cross‑platform compatibility and can be embedded in many environments.
