The README dates the original author note to 15-Mar-2009 and says the format is what Internet Explorer used for CSS `@font-face` declarations. GitHub metadata describes the current repository as an import of Taviso's tool from the now-defunct Google Code service. ### Adoption history ttf2eot belongs to the web-font compatibility period when developers needed EOT files for Internet Explorer while also shipping other font formats for newer browsers. Its package-manager footprint is narrow but practical: the supplied package facts list Homebrew and MacPorts. That matches a tiny build-time converter used by web developers and font packagers rather than an end-user application. ### How it is used The documented usage is deliberately minimal: build with `make`, then run `./ttf2eot < input.ttf > output.eot`. Because the tool reads from standard input and writes to standard output, it fits shell pipelines and asset build scripts. ### Why package nerds care ttf2eot is package-nerd significant precisely because it is so small: package managers kept a one-purpose compatibility converter available after the web platform moved on from EOT. It is also an example of source-code migration history in package indexes: a Google Code-era utility imported to GitHub and preserved as a formula. ### Timeline - 2008: Microsoft's EOT submission is cited by the README as the format reference. - 2009: The README author note dates the original utility to 15-Mar-2009. - 2017: The GitHub repository is created as an import from defunct Google Code. ### Related projects - The README cites Chromium's `OpenTypeUtilities.cpp`, Microsoft's `TTLoadEmbeddedFont`, and the W3C EOT submission. - The tool sits near other font conversion utilities such as ttf2pt1, but targets web EOT output rather than PostScript Type 1. ### Sources - - - source_facts.package-manager lists Homebrew and MacPorts packages. ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** ttf2eot - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** stable ## Other Package-Manager Records - MacPorts - ttf2eot: normalized package name match | MacPorts ports tree: print/ttf2eot/Portfile from https://api.github.com/repos/macports/macports-ports/git/trees/master?recursive=1 ## Related links - [Source-control packages](https://pkg.so/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Terminal utility packages](https://pkg.so/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Text processing packages](https://pkg.so/text-processing-tools/) - Matched text, document, or structured-data processing metadata. - [Developer build packages](https://pkg.so/developer-build-tools/) - Matched build, compiler, generator, or developer workflow metadata. - [harfbuzz](https://pkg.so/brew/harfbuzz/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, fonts. - [pango](https://pkg.so/brew/pango/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, fonts. - [figlet](https://pkg.so/brew/figlet/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, fonts. - [texlive](https://pkg.so/brew/texlive/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, fonts. - [fonttools](https://pkg.so/brew/fonttools/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, fonts. - [woff2](https://pkg.so/brew/woff2/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, fonts. - [webfont](https://pkg.so/brew/webfont/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, fonts, ttf. - [ttf2pt1](https://pkg.so/brew/ttf2pt1/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, font-conversion. - [ttf2eot](https://pkg.so/npm/ttf2eot/) - Same normalized package name appears in another local ecosystem.
