TTF — Novus Mono Sample (monospace)
A fixed-width (monospace) demonstration typeface where every glyph shares the same advance width — a fixture for testing monospace detection, code-editor rendering, and column alignment. Original and free to use.

What is a .ttf file?
TTF (TrueType Font) is a scalable outline font format developed by Apple and Microsoft that uses quadratic Bezier curves and includes hinting for sharp rendering at small sizes. It stores glyph outlines, metrics, and character mappings in a single file. It is one of the most widely supported desktop and web font formats.
How to use this file
Use an example TTF to test font parsers, glyph and metric extraction, text-rendering pipelines, and converters that produce web font formats like WOFF.
How to use this file for testing
“TTF — Novus Mono Sample (monospace)” is a deterministic Novus Examples fixture for Conversion testing, Editor 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: TTF · 1,888 bytes. 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.

- 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.
- ttfTTF — Access All Alternates (aalt)An aalt feature that aggregates every alternate reachable through the stylistic sets and the small-cap set, which is what a glyph-palette UI reads to offer 'other forms of this character'. For testing alternate-picker panels rather than automatic shaping. Original typeface, free to use.
- ttfTTF — Contextual Alternates (calt)Contextual alternate substitution that fires on doubled letters: the second letter of aa, ee, oo, nn, ss and tt is replaced by an alternate carrying a visible baseline underscore, so a shaping result can be read straight off the page instead of out of a debug log. calt is on by default, which makes it a good test of whether a renderer applies default features at all. Original typeface, free to use.
- ttfTTF — Every OpenType Feature in This FamilyEvery feature this family defines in one face — ligatures, kerning, contextual alternates, small caps, three stylistic sets, four figure features, fractions, mark attachment, aalt and locl. The single font to point a feature-discovery UI at. Original typeface, free to use.
- ttfTTF — Figure Sets (lnum, onum, tnum, pnum)All four figure features over one digit set: the default is proportional lining, tnum flattens every digit to 620 units for column alignment, pnum restores the proportional widths, and onum drops five digits below the baseline and raises two above the x-height. The measurable case for testing font-variant-numeric. Original typeface, free to use.
- ttfTTF — Fractions (frac) with numr and dnomA real frac implementation as a chaining contextual substitution: the slash becomes a fraction slash, the digit before it becomes a numerator and the digit after becomes a denominator, with numr and dnom also reachable on their own. Coverage is deliberately limited to single-digit fractions, which is stated in the specs so a test can assert the boundary. Original typeface, free to use.
