Convert VFB to TTF

Understanding VFB and TTF file formats

The VFB file format, short for FontLab VFB, is a proprietary file format used by FontLab, a popular font editing software. It is primarily used to store font design projects, including glyph outlines, kerning, and other font-related data. Designers use VFB files to create and modify fonts before exporting them to more widely used formats.

The TTF file format, or TrueType Font, is a standard font format developed by Apple and Microsoft. TTF files are widely used across different operating systems and applications, making them a popular choice for distributing fonts. They contain both the screen and printer font data, ensuring consistent appearance across different devices.
