Converting Fonts for the Web Revision as of Sunday, 22 March 2020 at 03:06 UTC

I started with an OpenType file.

The Easy Way

Install this via Homebrew and convert away. It installs this script and a bunch of dependencies.

TTF and SVG

Install FontForge (on Homebrew) and then save this as a script (convert.pe) and make it executable.

Open($1)
Generate($1:r + ".ttf")
Generate($1:r + ".svg")

Run with

fontforge -script name_of_script font.otf

WOFF

Use this tool called sfnt2woff. Edit: That page is down. Here’s the source

sfnt2woff font.otf

For a bunch of ’em,

for f in *.otf; do ~/Downloads/sfnt2woff $f; done

EOT

Install ttf2eot via Brew and then

ttf2eot Inconsolata.otf > Inconsolata.eot

For a bunch of files,

for f in *.otf; do ttf2eot $f > ${f%".otf"}.eot; done
