TTF files are executables too. FON files are Windows bitmap fonts.
No, they are not executable.
TTF files include programs (sets of instructions) that generate glyphs and hinting, thus are executable. That you cannot run them from a shell prompt doesn't change that character. http://www.microsoft.com/typography/otspec/TTCH01.htm
Maybe...
Not maybe. Did you read the link? They are executable code that happens to require a special type of interpreter to execute.
I'm not questioning your statement. Postscript is also "code", but we don't call postscript files "executables".
...they should not have the executable flag in linux.
True, though it doesn't hurt anything if they do. ;-)
Well, I don't like to have files marked as executables if they aren't. It is a risk. And that's the entire sense of the doubt Mike expressed: konqueror shows them as executables perhaps because all files in an vfat tree are considered executables, due to the way they are mounted, and regardless of whether they are really executables or not. That's why I mount vfat with flags "fmask=0117,dmask=0007": nimrodel:~ # ls -l /windows/C/windows/*exe - -rw-rw---- 1 root users 98512 Jun 28 2006 /windows/C/windows/GREUninstall.exe - -rw-rw---- 1 root users 308224 Nov 13 1998 /windows/C/windows/IsUn040a.exe - -rw-rw---- 1 root users 306688 Oct 29 1998 /windows/C/windows/IsUninst.exe - -rw-rw---- 1 root users 99024 Jun 28 2006 /windows/C/windows/MozillaUninstall.exe ... See? Even windows .exe are not flagged "x" in my system.
