Yes, it opens both .ttf and .otf files. Outlines from CFF based OpenType fonts (.otf files) are converted to TrueType outlines.

FYI FontCreator can also extract fonts from .ttc files.

It means the file contains invalid information.

Send the file to our customer support team, and we'll look into it. Also let us know which version of FontCreator you use.

It is not an OpenType font, but the .pfb file of a PostScript Type 1 font.
