In general I recommend to refer to the OpenType specification

  https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/typography/opentype/spec/

which is an ISO standard (ISO/IEC 14496-22 “Open Font Format”),
instead of the Apple-only TrueType reference.  There are significant
differences, especially for modern fonts.
