[woff2/ttf] Round trip brotli compress & uncompress

Post by Michael Uplawski »

What are the implications and cosiderations if I use a brotli tool to compress, then decompress a font file, first to WOFF2, then back to ttf?

My gained advantage is obvious. You just look at the files.
Licenses are unharmed by the proces AFAIS. Is there anything else that could prevent me from taking this approach? I have not understood if and how glyphs are changed in the process. So my idea does not seem to have any bad sides (that's odd).

However, let me state (again) that the sizes of font-files are of not much influence on the loading speed, when the right techniques are used. For the time being, I am merely “challenged” by the concepts.

TIA.
