Mariya Valkova, If I should answer directly – use OTF. The most significant differences in those two type formats are in the way they are created, in the technical part.
In a history point of view, OTF is the new standard and was developed after TTF format. That’s why there are situations when an old computer has problems with OTF and works better with TTF. But the two formats should work perfectly well on Windows 10. And again, if you ever have one font in both formats, go for the OTF one.
It can have more typographic features, better language support, more glyphs (characters) and other advantages. However, if you’re using PowerPoint embedding option, there are some specifics. Not all fonts are made to be embedded. Also, embedding a font is enlarging the overall file size and OTF fonts are less heavier than TTF.
