TTF vs WOFF (Web Open Font Format)
- “TTF (TrueType Font) is a standard developed by Apple in the 1990s”
- “WOFF is basically a compressed TTF with metadata and browser support” (src)
- developed by Mozilla in concert with Type Supply, LettError, and other organizations (src)
Browser support:
Each version of the format has received the backing of many font vendors,
also known as type foundries,[16] and has been supported by all major browsers:
- Firefox since version 3.6[17]
- Google Chrome since version 6.0[18]
- Internet Explorer since version 9[19]
- Konqueror since KDE 4.4.1[20]
- Microsoft Edge
- Opera since version 11.10[21] (Presto 2.7.81)[22]
- Safari[23] 5.1[24]
- other WebKit-based browsers since WebKit build 528[25][26]
WOFF 2.0, based on the Brotli compression algorithm (by Google) and other improvements over WOFF 1.0 giving more than 30% reduction in file size, is supported in:
- Google Chrome (since version 36),[27]
- Edge (since version 14),[28]
- Opera (since version 26),[29]
- Firefox (since version 35)[30]
