TrueType Font (TTF) files were originally invented by Apple. However, they can be opened on both Apple Macintosh and Windows platforms. It's easy to open a TTF file and install it.
Step 1
Locate the TTF file you want to open and install it in a folder on your computer's desktop, CD disc or USB thumb drive.
