Preparing font formats
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
1. From the upstream releases, take the TTF versions.
|
|
2. To generate woff format, get https://github.com/googlei18n/sfntly
|
|
3. Use https://github.com/google/woff2 to generate woff2 from ttf. This will produce a compressed woff2 file.
|
|
Modern browsers support this format.
|
|
4. The eot file format is used only by older IE, but it can be generated using sfntly. Make sure to use -mtx flag to get
|
|
enhanced compression.
