If the font files are zipped, unzip them by right-clicking the .zip folder and then clicking Extract. Now you'll see the available TrueType and OpenType font files: Right-click the fonts you want, and click Install.
How to open a TTF file. You can open a TTF file in Microsoft Windows Font Viewer (Windows), Apple Font Book (Mac), or iFont (iOS, Android). Before opening a TTF file in Windows Font Viewer, you must place the file in the C:/Windows/Fonts directory. Otherwise, Windows will not recognize the file as a valid font file.
(TrueType Font file) A TrueType font file in Windows that contains the mathematical outlines of each character in the font. In the Mac, the icon of a TrueType file looks like a document, dog-eared on the upper left, with three A's on it. TTF files are stored in the \WINDOWS\SYSTEM or \WINDOWS\FONTS folders.
TTF is a vector format, so there are no characters shapes, really. Load the font, select it into a device context (a memory one), render a character, grab a bitmap.
Relevant APIs: AddFontResource, CreateFont, CreateDC, CreateBitmap, SelectObject, TextOut (or DrawText).
