File Extension | FFIL |
Full Name | Mac OS X Data Fork Suitcase Format |
The FFIL extension is given to files that are used in the Mac OS X operating system. FILL files store a set of fonts. These can be TrueType or bitmap fonts. In the case of the latter, they need a PostScript outline font file to be fully functional.
File Extension | OTF |
Full Name | OpenType Font File Format |
Files with the .OTF extension file contain fully scalable fonts saved in the OpenType format developed by Adobe and Microsoft. It is similar to PostScript and TrueType fonts, and retains its quality when resizing.
File format conversion is the process of transforming a file from one format (referred to as "FFIL") to another (referred to as "OTF"). This may be necessary for various reasons. For example, FFIL file may be incompatible with the software or device we want to use to open or edit it. In such cases, converting the file from format FFIL to format OTF becomes essential.
So, how can we perform FFIL to OTF file conversion? Fortunately, there are many tools and computer programs available that enable file format conversion. These tools work by reading the data from the file in format FFIL and transforming it into format OTF. This allows the preservation of the original information contained in the file, even after changing its format. Below you will find a list of FFIL to OTF converters.
If you have already downloaded one of the converters and installed it on your computer, you can proceed to the appropriate conversion process of FFIL to OTF. Handling all the programs is usually very intuitive and is based on the same pattern of conduct. We will briefly discuss a few steps that you always need to go through while changing the format of the FFIL file:
File extensions are not normally displayed to users. To change this, go to Control Panel, select Appearance and Personalization and Folder Options. Next, select the View and find the option "Hide extensions for known file types". The option should be deselected (cleared) and confirmed with OK.
