Fast, Simple, & Free Open Source Webfont Converter

---

FontPlop is an OSX/macOS application which takes ttf and otf files and outputs a webfont bundle: woff2, woff, ttf/otf. It is the simpler, faster, free successor to FontPrep, which is no longer maintained.

Demo

Installation

brew cask install fontplop

Testing

Run lint (tslint) and tests (Jest) like so:

npm run lint
npm run test

Generated CSS (recommended)

Stolen directly from the Typekit site 💂💰

@font-face {
    font-family:"My Font";
    src:url("my-font.woff2") format("woff2"),url("my-font.woff") format("woff"),url("my-font.otf") format("opentype");
    font-style:normal;font-weight:400;
}

Why not EOT or SVG? Well, they're essentially no longer needed and/or dying off. See this issue. If you really need EOT/SVG fonts, you can download version 1.1.0 where those formats were last supported.
