Very quick commandline wrapper around OpenTypeUtilities.cpp from Chromium, used
to make EOT (Embeddable Open Type) files from TTF (TrueType/OpenType Font)
files. This is the format TTLoadEmbeddedFont() accepts, which is what Internet
Explorer uses for css @font-face declarations.
I've only tested this on Linux.
EOT was documented by Microsoft here:
<http://www.w3.org/Submission/2008/SUBM-EOT-20080305/>
TTLoadEmbeddedFont is described here:
<http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd145155(VS.85).aspx>
Chromium:
<http://src.chromium.org/viewvc/chrome/trunk/deps/third_party/WebKit/WebCore/platform/graphics/win/OpenTypeUtilities.cpp?view=log&pathrev=7591>
To build:
$ make
Usage:
$ ./ttf2eot < input.ttf > output.eot
