ttf2woff2

What is ttf2woff2?

The ttf2woff2 npm package is a tool for converting TrueType font files (TTF) to the Web Open Font Format 2 (WOFF2). This conversion is essential for web developers who want to optimize font loading times and ensure compatibility across different browsers.

What are ttf2woff2's main functionalities?

Convert TTF to WOFF2

This feature allows you to convert a TTF file to a WOFF2 file. The code reads a TTF file from the filesystem, converts it to WOFF2 format, and then writes the output to a new file.

const ttf2woff2 = require('ttf2woff2');
const fs = require('fs');

const input = fs.readFileSync('path/to/font.ttf');
const output = ttf2woff2(input);
fs.writeFileSync('path/to/font.woff2', output);

Other packages similar to ttf2woff2

fontmin

Fontmin is a more comprehensive font processing tool that can subset, optimize, and convert fonts. It supports multiple formats including TTF, WOFF, and WOFF2. Compared to ttf2woff2, Fontmin offers more features but may be more complex to use for simple TTF to WOFF2 conversions.

ttf2woff

The ttf2woff package is similar to ttf2woff2 but converts TTF files to the older WOFF format instead of WOFF2. It is useful for ensuring compatibility with older browsers that do not support WOFF2.

webfont

Webfont is a tool for generating webfont files from various font formats. It supports TTF, OTF, SVG, and more, and can generate WOFF and WOFF2 files. It offers more flexibility and additional features compared to ttf2woff2, but may require more configuration.
