A TTC file may currently contain anything that a TrueType-flavour
OpenType font can contain, and I understand that the format may be
extended to cover CFF-flavour OpenType too. Basically, a TTC is a
mechanism for sfnt fonts to share tables, and hence reduce their
combined size.

It can be a very useful format, and I would rather see it accommodated
than eliminated.
