.eot support ?

[puzrin]

EOT format is almost a dead horse. But still needed for some webfonts, if those have to support IE6/7.

If you wish to implement - here is JS implementation https://github.com/fontello/ttf2eot/blob/master/index.js . Or see link in readme to the same on C language.

2 important notes:

1. Seems that format can support compression, but it's not implemented in code above.
2. EOT font name MUST start woth font family name, or it will not be loaded. That an epic bug, and very few people know about it. When they report about "broken eot", that's not convertor bug.

Could you explain where this 'eot Font name' is?

That was about "font full name" and "font family" from NAME table. Here is link to note in fontello code . And here is original ticket, where @LouisStAmour adviced solution.

Sorry for wrong terms. I'm very far from text font creation, and my knowlege is limited to features, needed for iconic webfonts.

at least, eot is not worse than many other strange formats, supported by fontforge :) . And adding basic eot support is cheap (even more simple than woff).

Do as you wish. I no longer use fontrofge in fontello and don't depend on this ticket. Just share with you collected experience, when i can.
