Convert otf 2 woff with php

Question

for a small type foundry website I´m looking for a way to convert otf files to woff dynamically with php. (The goal would be to use the types with css font-face and not as images!)

Is there a way to do this with php (script should work on shared host), if not are there any Linux command lines tools which can handle this job?

kind regards,

tony

Answer 1

The easiest way I found to do this, is using one of the following two methods.

• Use fontforge scripting and call it from php
• Use REST font conversion apis like the one found here.

Personally I prefer the later since it works well on any environment and you don't have to mess with compiling fontforge for your host and wrapping it in php.
