fonttools convert ttf to woff2

Currenly, I'm using fonttools(https://github.com/fonttools/fonttools) to convert font file ttf to woff2 by ttx command with 2 steps

But it's too slow and ttx file to big, is there any way to convert ttf to woff2 directly by using fonttools to improve performance?

If you install fonttools with the right dependencies, you can also this from the command-line:

./fonttools ttLib Roboto-Regular.ttf --flavor woff2 Roboto-Regular.woff2

pip install --user --upgrade fonttools[woff]
python3
>>> from fontTools.ttLib.woff2 import compress
>>> compress('filename.otf','filename.woff2')
  • This will [only] accept .otf and .ttf
  • It produces smaller files than other techniques (ie: woff2-tools)

There's Google's woff2 CLI, so you can do this in command line instead of manually writing some scripts.

With fonttools installed in your Python (virtualenv, pipenv, etc):

$ python
>>> from fontTools.ttLib import TTFont
>>> f = TTFont('path/to/your/file.otf')
>>> f.flavor='woff2'
>>> f.save('path/to/your/file.woff2')

NOTE: you might need to install other fontTools dependencies ('brotli', others) to allow saving with flavor=woff2 to work correctly.
