Hi TypeDrawers,
Just curious how you all generate webfonts? After running ttf-autohinter, whats the best way to create woff (and woff2) without losing information?
I know about Font-Squirrel of course but I think I read somewhere it creates TTF flavoured woffs?
cheers!

Amongst other functionalities it generates woff and (compressed) eot from ttf
but I think it is free now.

Re Glyphs: is there a way to generate woff from a TTF that is already hinted?
I've never been a fan of web services, purely because sometimes they vanish and I'm a control freak.
Good to hear good reports for TransType, for £50 it sounds well worth the punt.
@Ramiro I haven't noticed any particular issues with FontPrep and I've been using it to deploy a household brands typeface. Anything show stopping I should know of?
I also found problems in TransType (it wrongly modified GASP tables settings and it also generated bad EOTs), but they have been corrected and it now works rather well (despite the fact I don't like it changes weight class values).
@wh typefaces what font tool, produced that absolutely crazy hinting?
