What font formats are supported
Apple mobile operating systems now support the following font types:
TTF (TrueType Font) , which is based on a joint development between Apple and Microsoft in the late 80s. Then the companies teamed up to provide a worthy alternative to vector fonts from Adobe. At the moment, this font format is the most common in both Windows and macOS.
TTC (TrueType Collection) is a modified version of TrueType that allows you to combine similar fonts into one file and reduce the amount of source data.

Question to the expert
The style you are interested in is not installed.

The style does not work in certain applications.
There is simply no solution to this problem. Sometimes it happens that a certain style is not supported in the application, there is simply no such function in the utility itself. This cannot be solved; you have to come to terms with it.
Can't delete the style.
This is only possible when the font is standard; it cannot be removed at all. In other cases, deletion occurs anyway.
