What is a .ttc file?
font/collection
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 a .ttc 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.

- 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.
- TTC — 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.
- TTC — 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.
- TTC — 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.
