About WOFF files
the compressed web font format
WOFF (Web Open Font Format) is a W3C wrapper that compresses a TrueType or OpenType font for use on websites.
Web fonts loaded with CSS @font-face; all current browsers support it.
WOFF: what conversion changes
Converting WOFF rewrites outlines.
WOFF: settings to change
Before you convert WOFF files, you can adjust: Subset unicode ranges, Keep hinting, and Keep layout features.
Limits of the WOFF format
WOFF2 compresses better, so WOFF is now mainly a fallback for old browsers.
Common questions about WOFF
Why can't I install a WOFF font for Word or Photoshop? WOFF was built for web pages only, and desktop apps won't install it — converting to TTF or OTF makes the font usable everywhere.
Why convert a font to WOFF? For older browser support: it compresses the font and carries embedding permissions, and legacy sites still expect it.
