full webfont support

[astype]

It would be nice if we don't depend on online conversation tools like fontsquirrel (it has some really great features) to get some nice web-optimzed webfonts. Make it as plugin or extra tool or integrate it into Fontlab - but do something.

You don’t need online conversion tools.

A zip or rar archiver is neither integrated in FontLab. I don’t see the need for those plugins. There are much more important problems, that are not yet solved in FontLab.

Dear Arno,

we all know these tools can be described best as raw hacks.

I downloaded this, but have no idea how to make use of it. I double clicked it; it opened Terminal. I typed sfnt2woff and got "command not found".

What to do?

Mac or Windows, Michael? This program is a command-line tool so either you have to give the full pathname to the program or the program needs to be located in one of the standard places your OS looks for such things (e.g, in one of the folders named on your PATH environment variable). For Mac, try putting the program in /usr/local/bin; for Windows try C:\Windows.

Mac of course. Is there an app called "Terminal" in Windows?

[BobH]

Mac of course.

Did you try my suggestion?
