Convert EOT Font to WOFF Format
Completely IE-exclusive — no other browser supports or has ever supported EOT, making it effectively obsolete. Converting to WOFF gives you a key advantage: compressed wrapper around ttf/otf that reduces font file sizes by ~40% while adding web-specific metadata. WOFF is best for serving web fonts with decent compression and broad browser compatibility including older browsers.

WOFF (Web Open Font Format) is best for serving web fonts with decent compression and broad browser compatibility including older browsers. Key tradeoff: EOT's advantage is the only web font format supported by internet explorer 6, 7, and 8 — mandatory for legacy ie compatibility, while WOFF's advantage is compressed wrapper around ttf/otf that reduces font file sizes by ~40% while adding web-specific metadata.
