About:
eot-utils is a suite of command-line utilities designed for web font conversion and compression. Its primary function is to convert OpenType (OTF) and TrueType (TTF) font files into the Embedded OpenType (EOT) format, which was required for font embedding in older versions of Internet Explorer. The tools also provide functionality for compressing fonts and adding the necessary MTX compression headers.

Key Features:

Converts OTF and TTF fonts to EOT format
Compresses fonts using MicroType Express (MTX)
Command-line interface for scripting and automation
Generates EOT files compatible with legacy IE browsers

Use Cases:

Creating web-compatible font files for legacy Internet Explorer support
Automating font build pipelines for web development projects
Compressing font assets to reduce file size for web delivery

Alternatives:

Font Squirrel Webfont Generator – Online service that converts and generates full webfont kits with CSS, whereas eot-utils is a CLI tool focused specifically on EOT conversion.
sfnt2woff – Tool for converting to WOFF format, while eot-utils specifically targets the EOT format for older browsers.
