Based on the previous patch, we create a generalization of how was
"ttf" target handled to support exporting also to other common
formats. We add "4web" target covering common formats used on
the web (HTML/CSS:font-face): TTF, WOFF, SVG, EOT.
It is easy to add other formats if needed and provided that
such format is supported by FontForge.
Update v2
---------
EOT is not supported natively by FontForge, so in fact, another tool
is needed, either will serve the purpose:
1. mkeot from eot-utils (http://www.w3.org/Tools/eot-utils/)
2. ttf2eot (http://code.google.com/p/ttf2eot/)
Unfortunately, these are not commonly packaged so they have to be
compiled from source. This is quite straightforward, only in case 2.,
extra header file has to be imported, see [1].
The Makefile supports both these convertors. I made some comparison
of the two and the output is similar, although 2. seems to be doing font
subsetting and supports setting the URL prefixes where the font is
intended to be used -- this can be explictly requested using:
make eot MKEOT_URLS="URL1 URL2 ..."
Because 1. is also under the wings of authoritative organization (W3C),
I arranged it as prioritized choice with the fallback to 2. if mkeot
is not found on the PATH (if even this is missing, the eot target fails).
If official distribution of web fonts incl. EOT is ever to be made,
I think it is important to mark (in the form of a comment in Makefile)
the "canonical" converter. I anticipated it is 1. as well, but it can be
changed anytime (preferrably also fallback order is changed then).
In scripts/fontexport.pe, printing newline is removed.
