[font-faces, Web-fonts] ttf works. Why should I use woff?
by Michael Uplawski from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4ZDGQ)
Howdy.
Ever since there have been @font-faces, I use to embed Open-Font-licensed fonts and those for which I have the authorization by the font-author, in my web-pages.
For the time, all the css which is concerned, references either TrueType or OpenType fonts (.ttf or .otf). I cannot see and do not have feedback about dysfunctional font-settings in any of these pages.
I can convert fonts to woff (or woff2), but why should I ?
While there appears to be additional information for the interpreting software (AKA Web-browser), apart from the licensing information I see no use for this. The compression rate impresses the adepts of woff2 but it only means that the font-files on a server are smaller. I use.., like 3.., fonts on a site and seriously do not care about the file-size of my font-files.
Q1:Does anybody wish to disable support for .ttf and .otf in font-faces in the near future?
Q2:What else could be a (really good) reason to convert original font-files to woff/woff2 and to modify my style-sheets in accordance?
