[Pkg-fonts-devel] Fwd: ttf2eot needs to be packaged to allow <distro> to make cross-browser embedded-font websites

[Daniel Glassey]

I guess this would be a good idea for Debian as well. Anyone like to
package it for the team?

Regards,
Daniel

Now that Firefox finally has embedded font support, even though the
current version in Fedora 11 segfaults (Bug 509501), web developers
will want to create websites using embedded fonts. To get these
embedded fonts to display in IE, the ttf files will need to be
converted to eot files. On Fedora, to convert ttf files into eot files
one would need ttf2eot. Lets package ttf2eot to let the web developers
use Fedora.
