Recommendations for Windows Fonts

There are many ways to construct a TrueType font file. This chapter outlines Microsoft recommendations for constructing a font file that will operate on Windows, Macintosh, and OS/2 systems, as well as with applications using Microsoft's TrueType Font Adaptation Kit. It should be noted that all TrueType fonts use Motorola-style byte ordering (Big Endian).

Filenames

The preferred suffix for TrueType font files under Windows is *.TTF.
