OTF - TTF font problem

I have some very irritating font problem. I downloaded fonts from google fonts (Roboto family). I installed  it on two computers. One at my office. The other at home. Both running win10.

When i use the font in a project created at home computer and reopen it at office computer, InDesign says that font is missing(!). Actually ID says that missing font is Roboto TTF, while installed on the local system is Roboto OTF(!?).

Why? Both systems got same font, from same source file.

Any solution for this?

    TTF is a TrueType font, OTF is OpenType. OpenType fonts are typically newer and better supported on current desktop systems.

    I do understand differences between OTF, and TTF. I do not understand why same font, from same source file is seen by Adobe Apps once as TTF (on one computer), and OTF on the other one.
