True Type Font. An outline font format developed in 1991 by Apple as an alternative to PostScript fonts. You can scale or size the type to almost any point size.

The rue ype ont format is used for storing vector fonts. It originated on Macintoshes and WinTel boxes and can be made to work on many other systems as well. Unfortunately there are two slightly different Truetype formats in use; modern Macintoshes can use either, WinTel boxes are restricted to the WinTel type, and other systems can sometimes use either but will usually be restricted to one or the other. Free conversion programs exist to convert between the two.
As opposed to a postscript font, true type fonts are used by both the screen and the printer to display and print the font correctly. On a PC, true type fonts have the extension of .ttf. On a Macintosh, true type fonts have a blue triple-A icon (as opposed to screen fonts which have a blue single-A icon) and are usually located within a Suitcase.
