An OTB file may also be an OpenType Bitmap (OTB) font file that stores characters as bitmap images rather than scalable outlines used by most OpenType fonts. It uses the OpenType font structure to package bitmap font data, allowing a font to contain characters designed for specific pixel sizes. OTB files use the EBLC and EBDT tables to store information about the bitmap sizes and the bitmap images for individual characters.
More Information
OTB is an X11 bitmap font format developed for Unix and Linux systems. It packages traditional bitmap fonts, such as fonts originally stored in .BDF or .PCF format, in an OpenType-compatible structure.
Linux desktop environments and font systems can use OTB fonts to render text at the specific pixel sizes included in the font. Font developers and Linux users working with fixed-size or legacy bitmap fonts may encounter OTB files.
How to open an OTB file
You can open OTB files with FontForge, which supports importing and generating X11 OpenType Bitmap fonts. On Linux, you can also install and use supported OTB fonts with the system's font software without opening the file in a font editor.
Since OTB is a specialized bitmap font format, general font applications and operating systems may not support it as widely as standard .TTF and .OTF fonts.
