About TTF
Apple made TrueType in the late 1980s so the Mac could draw outline fonts of its own, and shipped it in System 7 in 1991. Microsoft took it into Windows 3.1 the year after, and TTF has been the most common font file ever since, on computers, phones and the web.
A TTF keeps each glyph as an outline of quadratic curves, a map from characters to glyphs, the spacing and kerning, its names and licence, and often hinting, small programs that fit the outlines to a screen's pixels. A variable TTF holds a whole range of weights or widths in one file.
Filepeek reads the font in your browser and shows every glyph by Unicode block, each with its points and metrics. Type in it at any size with its features, see the languages it writes, and save a smaller font of only the glyphs you pick, as WOFF2, WOFF or TTF.

Questions
How do I see a TTF font without installing it?
Drop it on this page or choose Peek a TTF. Every glyph shows at once, and Type sets any text in it, with nothing installed.
Can I make the font smaller?
Yes. Choose Pick glyphs and pick the characters you need, a whole block or a language, or paste the text you'll set, then Save. What the picked glyphs need comes along, and the font saves as WOFF2, WOFF or TTF.
Can I turn a TTF into a WOFF2?
Yes. Choose Export, then Save as WOFF2. Save for the web saves a WOFF2 for each script the font has, with the CSS that loads only what a page uses.
Can I use this font on my site?
Info shows what its licence says, and Embedding what the font allows. A font that asks not to be embedded or changed gets a note before you save a copy.
Is my file uploaded?
No. The font opens inside your browser and never leaves your device.
