File Extension | FON |
Full Name | Microsoft Windows Bitmap Font Format |
Files with the FON extension are used in systems from the Windows family, starting with Windows 3.11. FON files are files that are used to store bitmap fonts. It is a predefined font size that cannot be changed. Some of the FON files are pre-installed with the system, but can also be added at a later time.
File Extension | TTF |
Full Name | TrueType Font Format |
Files with the .TTF extension contain fonts written in the form of Bezier curve templates, which allows for scaling without losing quality. This means that the characters formatted using the TrueType format look the same when viewed on a computer screen as when printed, and that their size can be changed without compromising the look.
File format conversion is the process of transforming a file from one format (referred to as "FON") to another (referred to as "TTF"). This may be necessary for various reasons. For example, FON 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 FON to format TTF becomes essential.
So, how can we perform FON to TTF 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 FON and transforming it into format TTF. This allows the preservation of the original information contained in the file, even after changing its format. Below you will find a list of FON to TTF 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 FON to TTF. 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 FON 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.
