[fonts] Convert or extract TTC font to TTF - how to?

I am already more than 8 hours trying to make the STHeiti Medium.ttc.zip font work on Windows.

But I can't make it work. Is anybody able to make it work on Windows?

The answer is


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.


You can use onlinefontconverter.com site. It works fine and have plenty of output formats (afm bin cff dfont eot pfa pfb pfm ps pt3 suit svg t42 tfm ttc ttf woff). One of the advantages I saw, is that it export all the fonts contained inside the ttc at once (which is very convenient).


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.


http://transfonter.org/ will do the job for you. Just upload your .ttc and it will give you a folder with all the fonttypes in .ttf files.


This is what worked for me for extracting TTFs from .dfont and .ttc files from Mac OS X: http://transfonter.org/ttc-unpack

The resulting TTFs work fine in Windows 7.
