It's TrueType under the hood. You can convert it into Windows-friendly TTF using FontForge (http://fontforge.sourceforge.net/) (free) or any of several tools sold by Fontlab (http://www.fontlab.com/).

where can i get the futura font for free?

It's not really a free font. You could buy it if you want to be squeaky clean legal, or try one of the many free font sites for a reasonable clone. Guide (http://guides.macrumors.com/Mac_Font_Basics_and_Sources) with some places to look.
