What is a .EOT file?
.EOT is a file in the Fonts (more) category. Analyser identifies it and reads the metadata in its header, right in your browser.
- Did you know
- EOT, Embedded OpenType, was Microsoft's web-font format, supported only by Internet Explorer from version 4 in 1997.
- It tried to discourage font piracy by tying a font to specific web pages and subsetting it to just the characters used.
- The cross-browser WOFF format eventually replaced EOT, which never worked outside Internet Explorer.
- What Analyser reads
- Identify and inspect UFO glyph sources (.glif) - the XML one-glyph format inside Unified Font Object projects used by RoboFont, Glyphs, FontForge and fontTools: read the glyph name, Unicode, advance width and contour/point/component counts, and render the glyph outline. Legacy Embedded OpenType (.eot) web fonts - Microsoft's Internet Explorer-only wrapper around TrueType - are identified.
- Depth of analysis
- .EOT is an identification-grade format: Analyser recognises it from its bytes and decodes the header metadata it carries, rather than opening it in a full viewer. Formats that do get a full viewer are marked "Full" on the formats page.
- Open a .EOT file
- Drag a .EOT file onto the Analyser home page (or tap to pick one). It is identified entirely in your browser - nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and it works offline once installed.
