Convert EOT | .NET

It is known that Embedded Open Type (EOT) is supported mainly by the Internet Explorer browser. Because of that, to render correctly you will need to build in your software converter to EOT from other font formats and vice versa. In this article, it is described how to use the Aspose.Font for .NET to convert EOT to TTF, EOT to WOFF, and EOT to WOFF2.

For all the conversions you will need these namespaces:

using Aspose.Font.Sources;
using System;
using System.IO;

The information about the font conversion fundamentals is notified in How to convert the font into the desired format? chapter.

Convert EOT to TTF

To transform Embedded Open Type to True Type Format you will need:

  1. Open EOT font.
  2. Notify the output settings for TTF font.
  3. Run the font conversion.
    // Open eot font, passing TTF as value for FontType, TtfFont will be returned as result of call Font.Open()
    string fontPath = Path.Combine(DataDir, "LoraRegular.eot");
    FontDefinition fontDefinition = new FontDefinition(FontType.TTF, new FontFileDefinition(new FileSystemStreamSource(fontPath)));
    Font font = Font.Open(fontDefinition);

    // Ttf output settings
    string outPath = Path.Combine(OutputDir, "EotToTtf_out1.ttf");
    
    // Save opened font to TrueType format
    font.Save(outPath);

Convert EOT to WOFF

To get Web Open Font Format from Embedded Open Type the next actions have to be done:

  1. Open EOT font.
  2. Notify the output settings for the WOFF font.
  3. Fulfill the font conversion.
    // Open eot font
    string fontPath = Path.Combine(DataDir, "LoraRegular.eot");
    FontDefinition fontDefinition = new FontDefinition(FontType.TTF, new FontFileDefinition(new FileSystemStreamSource(fontPath)));
    Font font = Font.Open(fontDefinition);

    // Woff output settings
    string outPath = Path.Combine(OutputDir, "EotToWoff_out3.woff");
    using (FileStream outStream = File.Create(outPath))
    {
        // Convert eot to woff
        font.SaveToFormat(outStream, FontSavingFormats.WOFF);
    }

Convert EOT to WOFF2

If you need to get the second version of the Web Open Font Format from Embedded Open type the taken steps are the same:

  1. Open EOT Font.
  2. Add the output settings for the WOFF2 font.
  3. Convert EOT to WOFF2 and save the result.
    // Open eot font
    string fontPath = Path.Combine(DataDir, "LoraRegular.eot");
    FontDefinition fontDefinition = new FontDefinition(FontType.TTF, new FontFileDefinition(new FileSystemStreamSource(fontPath)));
    Font font = Font.Open(fontDefinition);

    // Woff2 output settings
    string outPath = Path.Combine(OutputDir, "EotToWoff2_out4.woff2");
    using (FileStream outStream = File.Create(outPath))
    {
        // Convert eot to woff2
        font.SaveToFormat(outStream, FontSavingFormats.WOFF2);
    }
