A Grunt plugin that converts SVG icon files into webfonts in all major formats (WOFF, WOFF2, EOT, TTF, SVG), along with generated CSS/Sass/Less/Stylus and an HTML demo page. It supports two rendering engines (fontforge and pure Node) and features like ligatures, data:uri embedding, and custom templates.

Use cases

• generate an icon webfont from svg files
• convert svg icons to woff2 font
• create icon font with grunt build step
• generate css classes for icon font
• embed icons as data uri font
• build cross-browser icon font for ie8+
• generate sass variables for icon glyphs

When to choose

• you already use Grunt and want icon font generation in your build
• you need all web font formats and preprocessor output
• you need ligature support or custom templates

When to avoid

• you use modern bundlers like webpack, Vite, or Gulp instead of Grunt
• you prefer SVG icon sprites or icon components over icon fonts
• you need a zero-dependency solution with ligatures (node engine lacks them)
