If you ve got a Mac the easiest way to split those would be to use DfontSplitter  available at https   peter upfold org uk projects dfontsplitter  The Windows version they provide doesn t work with ttc files

Assuming that Windows doesn t really know how to deal with TTC files  which I honestly find strange   you can  split  the combined fonts in an easy way if you use fontforge   The steps are    Download the file  Unzip it  e g   unzip  STHeiti Medium ttc zip    Load Fontforge  Open it with Fontforge  e g   File  gt  Open   Fontforge will tell you that there are two fonts  packed  in this particular TTC file  at least as of 2014-01-29  and ask you to choose one  After the font is loaded  it may take a while  as this font is very large   you can ask Fontforge to generate the TTF file via the menu File  gt  Generate Fonts       Repeat the steps of loading 4--6 for the other font and you will have your TTFs readily usable for you   Note that I emphasized generating instead of saving above  saving the font will create a file in Fontforge s specific SFD format  which is probably useless to you  unless you want to develop fonts with Fontforge   If you want to have a more programmatic automatic way of manipulating fonts  then you might be interested in my answer to a similar  but not exactly the same  question   Addenda  Further comments  One reason why some people may be interested in performing the splitting mentioned above  or using a font converter after all  is to convert the fonts to web formats  like WOFF   That s great  but be careful to see if the license of the fonts that you are splitting converting allows such wide redistribution   Of course  for Free   as in Freedom   fonts  you don t need to worry  and one of the most prominent licenses of such fonts is the OFL

You don t need any tool  Only a few clicks   Windows 10 can handle ttc files with no problem    You can double click the file and install it like any ttf  Then if you nead the individual ttf files you can go to C  Windows Fonts Font Name and there you will findit   If you cant do this i suspect you have a corupt file
