FAQ

What is OTF?

OTF, or OpenType Font, is a font format developed by Microsoft and Adobe that extends the capabilities of traditional font formats like TrueType. OpenType fonts support various features, including ligatures, alternate characters, and additional typographic options, making them ideal for designers. OTF can contain both TrueType and PostScript outlines, providing rich typography across different platforms and ensuring consistent text rendering.

What is EOT?

EOT, or Embedded OpenType, is a compact font format created by Microsoft, primarily used for embedding fonts in web pages. It is optimized for faster loading in browsers, particularly Internet Explorer, making it ideal for use in web development. EOT files allow for better typography control on websites while maintaining compatibility with older browsers.

How does the conversion from OTF to EOT happen?

The process of converting OTF to EOT involves transforming the font data to meet the EOT format’s requirements:

1. Reading the OTF file: The converter reads data from the OTF file, including glyph outlines, metrics, and typographic features.
2. Data transformation: The font data is adapted to comply with EOT specifications. Advanced typographic features supported by OTF may be simplified as EOT focuses on compatibility with older browsers.
3. Creating the EOT file: After transformation, the converter generates a new EOT file optimized for embedding on web pages.
