About:
Ttf2eot is a command-line utility designed to convert TrueType Font (TTF) files into Embedded OpenType (EOT) format. This compact format is essential for older web technologies, particularly for supporting font embedding in legacy versions of Microsoft Internet Explorer. It provides a lightweight and efficient solution for web developers needing to ensure cross-browser compatibility for custom web fonts.
Key Features:
  • Command-line interface for easy scripting and automation
  • Fast and lightweight conversion process
  • Preserves essential font metadata during conversion
  • Open-source and cross-platform compatible
Use Cases:
  • Generating EOT font files for legacy Internet Explorer (IE6-IE9) support
  • Automating font conversion in web development build pipelines
  • Creating web font packages that require broad browser compatibility
Alternatives:
  • Font Squirrel Webfont Generator – A web-based service that offers a GUI and converts fonts to multiple formats (including EOT, WOFF, WOFF2), whereas ttf2eot is a command-line tool focused solely on TTF to EOT conversion.
  • sfnt2woff – A tool for converting TTF/OTF fonts to the WOFF format, which is the modern standard, while ttf2eot targets the older EOT format.
