TTC — TrueType Collection (2 fonts)
A TrueType Collection (.ttc) bundling two fonts — the Novus Mono Sample and Novus Icons — in a single container file. A fixture for testing TTC parsing, font-index selection, and collection-aware loaders.

What is a .ttc file?
A TrueType Collection (.ttc) is a single file that bundles several related fonts, sharing common tables (like glyph outlines) to save space. It is used to ship font families or CJK fonts with many variants in one file. A font index selects which face inside the collection to use.
How to use this file
Use an example .ttc to test collection-aware font loaders, font-index selection, and tools that split a collection back into individual TTF/OTF files.
How to use this file for testing
“TTC — TrueType Collection (2 fonts)” is a deterministic Novus Examples fixture for Conversion testing. 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: TrueType Collection. 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.

- ttcTTC — Collection of Two Variable FontsA collection whose members are themselves variable fonts, each with its own axis, fvar, gvar and STAT. The case that breaks loaders which handle collections or variations but never both at once. Original typeface, free to use.
- ttcTTC — The Same Three Faces with Tables UnsharedThe same three faces in a collection that stores every table separately, so each face's directory points at its own copy. Identical rendering, a bigger file — the reference that makes the shared-table saving measurable rather than assumed. Original typeface, free to use.
- ttcTTC — Three-Face Collection with Shared TablesA TrueType Collection holding three faces of one family with identical tables stored once and referenced by offset from each face's table directory. For testing face-index selection, collection-aware loaders, and extractors that must not assume each face owns its tables. Original typeface, free to use.
- bdfBDF — 5x7 Bitmap Font (digits)A hand-written 5×7 BDF bitmap font covering the digits, a colon, and space — the classic X11 bitmap-font format, in plain text. A fixture for testing BDF parsers, bitmap-font converters, and retro/embedded rendering.
- otfOTF — CFF (Cubic) OutlinesThe same design in CFF outlines: cubic Type 2 charstrings with no glyf and no loca. The half of the pair that catches code assuming every OpenType font is TrueType-flavoured. Original typeface, free to use.
- otfOTF — Colour Font, COLR Layers over CFF OutlinesCOLR and CPAL over CFF rather than glyf outlines. COLR is outline-agnostic by specification, but plenty of tooling assumes colour fonts are TrueType-flavoured — this is the file that finds out. Original typeface, free to use.
