OTF support? about woff2 HOT 3 CLOSED

Closing as this should already work. As @Pomax notes there is no table-specific optimization but you will still benefit from brotli. In our experience brotli run on a desubroutinized CFF often yields a smaller woff2 than the one you get if you feed in a highly subroutinzed CFF.

@strarsis I assume by "OTF support" you mean support for CFF-flavored TrueType fonts. This library should already handle CFF-flavored fonts. The WOFF2 spec only defines transformations for the glyf, loca, and hmtx tables, meaning the CFF table (and other supporting tables) can be used directly and do not need to be explicitly handled.

from woff2.

On a technical note, the WOFF2 spec only defines table compression, it does not limit which tables can and cannot be compressed: every single table (even including custom tables that have a valid SFNT directory entry) can be compressed as far as WOFF2 (and WOFF) are concerned.

There are additional optimizations around glyf/loca/hmtx, but those are on top of standard "any table" compression.

(of course, CFF and CFF2 tables are already highly compressed, so it's entirely possible that brotli has nothing meaningful to contribute there, but it should be entirely compressible if desired)
