TTF vs OTF on Windows without smoothing

[maa7]

Hello,
On Windows with smoothing disabled, the OTF version of the font at small sizes looks much better than the TTF version.
Is it possible to make the TTF version as good as the OTF?

@maa7 Why can’t you just use the OTF font if it performs better?

Many web designers don't know about this and continue to use woff2(ttf) instead of woff2(otf).
For many people, the reason why ttf looks worse is not clear.

The initial versions of Source Sans had finely hinted TTFs. Is it possible to use one of these earlier versions for your purposes? I’m not sure when we will invest in hinting TTF versions again.
