What I can do – Activity 2: Research Me

True Type Font(.ttf)

 TrueType is an outline font standard developed by Apple in the late 1980s as a competitor to Adobe's
Type 1 fonts used in PostScript. It has become the most common format for fonts on the classic Mac
OS, macOS, and Microsoft Windows operating systems.
 The primary strength of TrueType was originally that it offered font developers a high degree of control
over precisely how their fonts are displayed, right down to particular pixels, at various font sizes. With
widely varying rendering technologies in use today, pixel-level control is no longer certain in a
TrueType font.

Open Type Font(.otf)

 OpenType is a format for scalable computer fonts. It was built on its predecessor TrueType, retaining
TrueType's basic structure and adding many intricate data structures for prescribing typographic
behavior. OpenType is a registered trademark of Microsoft Corporation.
 The specification germinated at Microsoft, with Adobe Systems also contributing by the time of the
public announcement in 1996. Because of wide availability and typographic flexibility, including
provisions for handling the diverse behaviors of all the world's writing systems, OpenType fonts are
used commonly on major computer platforms.

Web Open Font Format(.webm)

 Scalable The Web Open Font Format (WOFF) is a font format for use in web pages. WOFF files are
OpenType or TrueType fonts, with format-specific compression applied and additional XML metadata
added. The two primary goals are first to distinguish font files intended for use as web fonts from fonts
files intended for use in desktop applications via local installation, and second to reduce web font
latency when fonts are transferred from a server to a client over a network connection.

Vector Graphics(.svg)

 Scalable Vector Graphics is an XML-based vector image format for two-dimensional graphics with
support for interactivity and animation. The SVG specification is an open standard developed by the
World Wide Web Consortium since 1999.
 Defined in a vector graphics format, SVG images can be scaled in size without loss of quality. SVG
images and their behaviors are defined in XML text files, which means that they can be searched,
indexed, scripted, and compressed. As XML files, SVG images can be created and edited with any text
editor, as well as with drawing software. The most-used web browsers render SVG files.
