When I try to import a TTC file, the little spinner on the file's icon goes around a couple times and then the import window closes with no indication of why the file didn't import. Actually, the first time I tried to install a TTC, it was part of a batch of about 50 font files, so I didn't even know the one TTC file in the bunch hadn't imported until I tried to open a document that used it and got an error message from my writing app telling me that a font was missing.

Searching this repository for "ttc" turned up nothing on the issue. Fontcase's help file says "look for .otf and .ttf file extensions," which I guess is a hint that the app doesn't support TTC, but a clear statement of the fact would be better than leaving users to deduce that the file format is the problem when their fonts don't import.

From my point of view, the ideal solution would be for Fontcase to support TTC. But I assume there's a reason why it doesn't already (maybe iOS doesn't support it?). So unless and until TTC support arrives, please give users an error message and documentation so we know what's going on.

I am having the same issues with TTC files. Are they just not supported?
