## What it is
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)
