Convert TTF to OTB FONT

TTF, or TrueType Font, is a digital font standard developed by Apple in the late 1980s to ensure high-quality text display on screens and printers. It was later adopted by Microsoft, becoming widely used in both Mac and Windows operating systems. TTF files contain vector outlines for each character, allowing scalable text that maintains clarity at any size. Its major uses include web design, desktop publishing, and software development, where precise and consistent font rendering is critical. The TTF format revolutionized typography by providing cross-platform compatibility and superior control over font appearance.

The OTB file extension, standing for "OpenType Bitmap", is a specialized format used in X11 for bitmap-only font files. It is a variant of the SFNT (scalable font) file format, tailored to store bitmap representations of fonts without vector outlines. Historically, OTB was developed to support the efficient rendering of fonts on systems with limited resources, ensuring the high-quality display of text. This format is particularly useful in environments where rendering performance is critical, such as older display systems or embedded systems.
