Convert TTF to VF3

Understanding TTF and VF3 file formats

TTF (TrueType Font) is a font format developed by Apple and Microsoft in the late 1980s. It is widely used for both screen and print fonts due to its scalability and high quality. TTF files contain font data, including outlines, metrics, and hinting information, which ensures that the font looks good at any size.

VF3 is a file format associated with FontLab, a professional font editor. VF3 files are used to store font projects, including all the necessary data for designing and editing fonts. This format is specific to FontLab and is not as widely used as TTF.

How to convert TTF to VF3

Converting a TTF file to a VF3 file involves using a font editor that supports both formats. The conversion process allows you to import a TTF font into a font editing software and save it as a VF3 project file.
