Very curious reading I found today in the twitter feed from Erik Spiekermann about Font hinting written by Richard Fink.

Font hinting is the rendering of the outlines and features of a letter on your screen you view right now and understanding them quickly. This reading gives a useful insight into the differences between TTF, OTF, and CFF in the realm of digital readability.
