I am really not familiar enough with it all to say anything definitively,
and I don't know as much about fonts generally as I should. My
understanding is that the "normal" fonts are StrikeFonts, which is a bitmap
font format (I think?) The TTC stuff is a kind of extension of the default
font management classes, but I'm not exactly sure how they fit together. As
you've probably found, poking around those classes and trying to piece
together what's happening takes a lot of time. Sorry if this is not much
help!
