What are ttf2woff's main functionalities?

Convert TTF to WOFF

This feature allows you to convert a TTF file to a WOFF file. The code reads a TTF file from the filesystem, converts it to WOFF format, and then writes the WOFF file back to the filesystem.

const ttf2woff = require('ttf2woff');
const fs = require('fs');

const ttf = fs.readFileSync('path/to/font.ttf');
const woff = ttf2woff(ttf);
fs.writeFileSync('path/to/font.woff', Buffer.from(woff.buffer));
