Hi! English is not my first language, please, excuse me. I had a trouble with TTF: I can't see them with mate font visor, or font forge or even libreoffice. (in mate visor "unable to read the font face file ..."; in fontforge ".._ttf is not a known format (or uses features of that format fontforge does not support, or is so badly corrupted as to be unreadable)") Fonts are in /home/.fonts/ and I can see them in another PC with Manjaro, and in a tablet with android...then, ttf fonts are fine, cos are the same (copy and paste). I had this fonts trouble in chimaera, and troubles with mate. All mate's issues gone resolved with an update to Devuan testing (and troubles with Network Manager and WiFi too was resolved), but TTF issues persist. I don't know what can I do, or what I can install or modify to resolve it. And I don't know what can I post to define better my problem. I hope someone understand what I am saying ... and someone had some idea. Thanks

I put it too in /usr/share/fonts/ doing fc-cache -f -v, but new fonts are not recognized, even if they are recognized in other dispositives.I need these particular fonts for my work... is not trivial.

Does the font show up if you grep for the font.
Try this.
fc-list | grep "YOUR FONT NAME.TTF"
Offline
Well, I copy new fonts to:
TTF: /usr/share/fonts/truetype
OTF: /usr/share/fonts/opentype
ATM: /usr/share/fonts/type1, not really supported any more nowadays
and I create a new directory for them below that paths. Do the copy with root privileges, and make sure the directory has 755 as octal rights and the fonts have 644 as octal rights.
Works fine.

in fontforge ".._ttf is not a known format
The use of an underscore (“_”) concerns me there. In general Linux uses mime (or file) to discover what a file actually is, rather than the Window$-inspired “.tld” convention.
I do not have fontforge installed.
Possibly one way to begin to diagnose your situation is from the command-line. If you have mlocate installed (to quickly locate files) and either FireFox and/or Thunderbird installed then you will be able to locate this specific TTF font:
$ file /usr/lib/firefox-esr/fonts/TwemojiMozilla.ttf
/usr/lib/firefox-esr/fonts/TwemojiMozilla.ttf: TrueType Font data, 17 tables, 1st "COLR", 12 names, Macintosh, type 1 string
That should help to begin to help discover exactly what your system thinks any particular ttf file is.
One final other common source is mscorefonts and/or fonts-liberation:
$ apt search fonts-liberation

Thank you for answer. Path and privileges are the same here, but nothing happen.

Thank you for answer.
AHA6.ttf is the font that I need. I had done your suggestion:
root@devuan:/home/gaurial# file /usr/lib/firefox-esr/fonts/TwemojiMozilla.ttf
/usr/lib/firefox-esr/fonts/TwemojiMozilla.ttf: TrueType Font data, 17 tables, 1st "COLR", 12 names, Macintosh, type 1 string
root@devuan:/home/gaurial# file /usr/share/fonts/truetype/aha/AHA6.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/aha/AHA6.ttf: data
Now, AHA6.ttf was created for me with fontforge. But I used for years... problem is now with a fresh install.
If I put DejaVuSans.ttf in /home...local/font/ and I do fc-cache -f -v (as superusser and normal user) I had:
/home/gaurial/.local/share/fonts: caching, new cache contents: 0 fonts, 0 dirs
and if I do a file I had:
root@devuan:/home/gaurial# file /home/gaurial/.local/share/fonts/DejaVuSans.ttf
/home/gaurial/.local/share/fonts/DejaVuSans.ttf: data
... the same thing as with AHA6.ttf ...
...but if I do a file with the same font DejaVuSans.ttf installed with apt I had:
root@devuan:/home/gaurial# file /usr/share/fonts/truetype/dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf: TrueType Font data, 20 tables, 1st "FFTM", 26 names, Macintosh
Then is not a problem with my font.
May be directories issue? no. If I put a font (not created for me) ImperiumSerif.ttf In /usr/share/fonts/truetype/Imperium and I do fc-cache -f -v as SU, I had:
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/Imperium: caching, new cache contents: 0 fonts, 0 dirs
and if I do a file I had:
root@devuan:/home/gaurial# file /usr/share/fonts/truetype/Imperium/ImperiumSerif.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/Imperium/ImperiumSerif.ttf: data
... the same thing as with AHA6.ttf
Finally, Typographic viewer of Mate is not able to see ImperiumSerif.ttf in /home/... neither /user/... as with AHA6.ttf
and Fontforge open (recognize) /usr/share/fonts/truetype/dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf installed with apt, but not /home/gaurial/.local/share/fonts/DejaVuSans.ttf .

That is pretty unreadable without block or inline code tags . . .

Please use [ code ] ... [/ code] tags to quote terminal-results (as below) (keeps the text in this window small). You would also be well advised to use your computer as an ordinary user rather than the root user. Switch to the root user only when you have some extensive admin to do that actually *requires* root to work (updating the system is such a requirement).

That is a proper ttf font …

… and that is most unlikely to be such a font. Here is one way to check:–

Now an examination using a hex-viewer; look at the first 12-bytes to see the magic-signature for a ttf font (ALL ttf-fonts should look something like this in the 1st 12 bytes):

You can now examine both TwemojiMozilla.ttf & AHA6.ttf on your own machine to discover whether these rogue fonts are actually fonts at all.

yes, number is inferior, but why I can use it in other dispositives, (another pc, notebook and tablet -with linux-deploy+debian 8) ?
and why ...
# strings /home/gaurial/.local/share/fonts/DejaVuSans.ttf | wc -l
24562
... gives a proper number, but the font is not recognized, if is not installed with apt?
May be something is wrong in the way of my system recongize the fonts, and not in the fonts themselves.
Now i will go hexdump

You have not included the full command for hexdump to get the correct result (it is hexdump -C). However, to make life simple for yourself use the shortcut hd (I only just discovered that just now - it is also hexdump).
If you look at this Wiki page for File Signatures you will find that the magic signature for ttf is 00 01 00 00 00. Therefore:
$ hd /usr/lib/firefox-esr/fonts/TwemojiMozilla.ttf | head

and you will spot the magic signature starting at '00000000'. If *your* ttf files do not start with this signature (which AHA6.ttf does not), then they will not be recognised by the system as TTF font files. My best guess then is that something within the way that you are processing them is shafting them.
There is a helpful Step-by-Step install TTF fonts on Linux page if you need help on that.

Thank you Alexkemp. Finally solved. Your suggestions made think in a possible corruption of files inside a flash drive (fresh install... then I moved fonts to a new PC through a flash drive)... and yes... files were corrupted. When I moved them with another flash drive, system recognized AHA6.ttf and all other fonts. Thank you for your guide and time... I learned some new things, commands and how to post properly from you. Thanks again.
Pd: You was right .... system is fine and fonts were bad

Delighted that you solved your font issue! Apologies if I seemed a little grumpy earlier.
