--- Comment #15 from Regis Perdreau <regis.perdr...@gmail.com> ---
The link you pointed almost explains the opposite... but with many "should"
 conditionnal, the author is probably embarassed with this question.


"A file containing a single font resource with TrueType outlines should have
either .OTF or .TTF extension. The choice between .OTF and .TTF may depend on
the desire for backward compatibility on older systems or with previous
versions of the font.
A file containing a single font resource with only CFF outline data (no
TrueType outlines) should have an .OTF extension."

I have an otf font which have never previous ttf version and only CFF outline,
so we could expect to have a conservative attitude and keep otf extension. 

If extension is not hard linked to the real file content,   it's an user
indicator of what the file is supposed to be... I don't think it's a good
practice to change it on the fly. Help doesn't  mention it. 

I close the ticket.

Thanks for your help.
