Font formats
- Open Type Fonts (OTF) – the most commonly used web fonts and are a registered trademark of Microsoft. This format works well with almost all major browsers.
- True Type Fonts (TTF) – developed by Microsoft and Apple in 1980. Widely used for both Windows and macOS.
- Web Open Font Format (WOFF) – broadly used format for web pages and recommended by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
- WOFF 2.0 – considered a better option than WOFF 1.0 due to better compression abilities. This format is not supported by Safari and Internet Explorer but works well with Google Chrome, Firefox, or Opera.
- Embedded OpenType Fonts (EOF) – more compact OTF fonts, used as embedded fonts on web pages. All major browsers support EOF.
