Wanting to use this font offline, I was trying to install the .ttf to my Windows fonts, but I was unable to do so. Windows claims that it is not a valid font file. Any suggestions on why this is the case?

Only the webfont is available currently, so you won't be able to install it on your system.

Is there any way it can be converted to a 'valid-according-to-windows' TTF file? I'd love to embed this in an app. If the process is a bit involved I'd be happy to give it a try if you give me a few pointers.
