WOFF support

[lerouxb]

I was trying this library with some Google Fonts and because it only serves your browser the CSS for the best/latest format your browser can support, it is a bit of a pain to get to anything other than the WOFF file's URL.

It might be more effort to implement than it is worth, but support for it would be nice.

it's not so much effort as "a problem", WOFF files are compresed with the zlib compress2() function, so it's not just a matter of parsing more data, I'd actually need a JS implementation to unpack the data in-memory. I'm currently working on something that might become a replacement for Font.js though, so we'll see if I can add wOFF support there (https://github.com/pomax/CFF-glyphlet-fonts/)

Aah thanks. I'll check that out too. I'm trying to make one of those font
or letter visualisers where it draws lines over the letter to show the
baseline, x-height, ascenders, descenders, leading, etc.

you might also want to have a look at opentype.js, then, over at http://nodebox.github.io/opentype.js/

obsolete with the 2019 rewrite (which adds woff/woff2)
