Why does windows registry of fonts indicate they are all true type?

I'm on Windows 7 Home Edition. This is a screen shot of my registry for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts.

enter image description here

As you can see, the titles all have "(TrueType)" in them, even tho most in the screen shot are .otf files (Open Type Fonts). There are some .ttf types at the end.

Why is this? I've never modified this part of the registry ever. I've never had a different font with the same name, for Alegreya at least.

Is this a bug of windows? Does the title not even matter at all?

I noticed I could rename those titles without ill effects, but I haven't tried rebooting with it yet. Do I dare try?
