Fontmin is a pure JavaScript font subsetting and minification library for Node.js that compresses TTF fonts by glyph and converts between webfont formats (ttf, eot, woff, woff2, svg, otf). It also ships a CLI tool and desktop apps, and can generate CSS for icon fonts.

Use cases

• subset a large Chinese font to only the glyphs used on a page
• convert ttf to woff2 and woff for web use
• generate icon font css from svg files
• minify font files to reduce page load size
• build a custom iconfont from a set of svg icons
• convert otf fonts to ttf

When to choose

• you need to subset fonts to specific text in Node.js or via CLI
• you want to convert between ttf, eot, woff, woff2, and svg font formats
• you are building icon fonts from SVG assets
• you want a pure JavaScript solution with no native dependencies

When to avoid

• you need font hinting preservation or advanced font editing features
• you work outside the Node.js/JavaScript ecosystem
• you need variable font or advanced OpenType feature subsetting
