We regard .ttf as a binary distribution format. Editing it to make modifications to a font (apart from the very lowest-level bit-flipping in data tables) is pretty perverse and often unpleasant; you certainly wouldn't want to edit the glyph outlines in a .ttf.
The lack of free tools capable of editing, building, and signing fonts is something even we, as a commercial font foundry, lament.
