otf to a ttf
greetings how can i change a open type font to a true type font? i have the new FC7 professional. i have a old version of corel draw that only recognize true type fonts. i tried all the save features,export features under the file command but can't get it to work.it only saves in open type format. Am i missing something? thanks
Re: otf to a ttf
If they have true type outlines (ie, they open in FCP), all Open type fonts are true type fonts. Just change the extension from OTF to TTF.

- Open the TTF in FC7 and save it as a project file *.fcp
- Edit the export options for the project from the file menu
- Select a suitable path and filename for your exported font (probably not a good idea to overwrite the original TTF, though you can if you wish).
- Select the other options, e.g. include hinting etc.
- Export your font as TTF/OTF
Modern Windows apps don't care about the extension, but maybe older versions of CorelDraw do. If you save your fonts with a TTF extension, even if you include OpenType features, I suspect that CorelDraw will recognise it OK.

TrueType has been superseded by the OpenType format. However people still refer to TrueType fonts, while in fact 99.9% of all fonts that come with Windows are OpenType fonts.
