TeX will read anything (e.g., foo.bar), though. The extension only
matters if trying to find it by default.
I don't think there has ever been support for case-folding on extensions.
For example:
$ touch xx.TEX
$ tex xx
...
! I can't find file `xx'.
And, more analogously to your TTF case:
$ cp `kpsewhich cmr10.tfm` foobar.TFM
$ tex
**\font\x=foobar \relax
...
! Font \x=foobar not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found.
It seems like a reasonable feature to add, though, at first blush.
Up to Olaf ...
