TTC — The Same Three Faces with Tables Unshared
The 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.

Testing contract
Reference control- Scenario
- Compare the byte size and the table offsets against the shared twin.
- Expected result
- Both collections render identically and expose the same three faces; this one is 884 bytes larger and no two faces share a table offset.
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 — The Same Three Faces with Tables Unshared” is a deterministic Novus Examples fixture for Conversion testing, Performance 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: seed 20260807. 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.

- otfOTF — Web Container Source, CFF (Type 2) OutlinesThe uncompressed CFF (Type 2) source for this container set. Every WOFF and WOFF2 file in the group is packed from exactly these bytes, so a compression comparison is measuring the container and nothing else. Original typeface, free to use.
- ttfTTF — Full Face (subsetting baseline)The complete face the rest of the subset set is cut from: the whole glyph repertoire with ligatures, kerning, contextual alternates, small caps, stylistic sets, figures, fractions, marks and localised forms intact. Measure it, then measure the cuts. Original typeface, free to use.
- ttfTTF — Partially Instanced Variable Font (wdth pinned, wght live)The two-axis font with its width axis pinned to Condensed and its weight axis left live — the shipping shape for a site that wants one width but the whole weight range. For testing that a loader reads the reduced fvar rather than the original axis list. Original typeface, free to use.
- ttfTTF — Subset with Layout Features DroppedThe same probe-character subset with every OpenType feature stripped — what many web-font pipelines produce by default. GSUB and GPOS survive as empty shells, so a tool that merely checks whether the tables exist reports the font as fully featured while nothing ligates, kerns, or turns into small caps. Original typeface, free to use.
- ttfTTF — Subset with Layout Features KeptA subset cut to just the characters the kerning, ligature, small-cap and figure probes need, keeping every OpenType layout feature whose glyphs survived. Half of a pair whose only difference is the layout tables — the pair that shows what a default subsetter setting silently costs you. Original typeface, free to use.
- ttfTTF — Subset: DigitsThe full face subset to U+0030-U+0039 (digits only) — a numeric-display cut, the shape a dashboard font ends up. Layout features are kept, so lookups whose glyphs were removed are the ones you can watch disappear. Original typeface, free to use.
