Command-line Example

To compress a .ttf file into a .woff2 file:

Development

[Build emscripten]https://kripken.github.io/emscripten-site/docs/building_from_source/building_emscripten_from_source_using_the_sdk.html) latest sources. Pre-built versions generated bad code for some reasons.

  • download emsdk and unpack to ~/emsdk-portable folder
  • build latest version
cd ~/emsdk-portable
./emsdk update
./emsdk install sdk-incoming-64bit
./emsdk activate sdk-incoming-64bit
  • Clone repo, update deps and rebuild if needed
git clone --recursive <path_to_repo>
cd wawoff2
source emsdk_env.sh
make clean all
