Best way to create .woff / .woff2 webfonts using FontLab and FontSquirrel

Hi all!

I wanted to share this method I´ve learned, to avoid restrictions in FontSquirrel webfont generator tool, which is by far one of the best free webfont generator I've seen by now.

First, you'll need to have any font file you want... I'm sure you´ll find it here ;)=

Second, you'll have to open this file in FontLab (I have FontLab Studio 5 but any version will do). Once in the program you must remove all the Font Info and clean all these fields:

> Names and Copyrights
> Version and Identification

Third, you Generate a .ttf / .otf in case you want any particular setting.

And Finally, you upload that file to FontSpring Webfont Generator:
[Только зарегистрированные пользователи могут видеть ссылки. Зарегистрироваться...]

If you missed deleting the content of any field, a warning alert might appear. In that case, you will have to repeat the process and ensure that everything is changed (the most important fields are Identification Settings and the Additional Opentype names).

That's all! The objective is to delete any possible identification, so the website can't detect that is a copyrighted font.

Obviously if you like how it works you must then buy the license but sometimes you want to try it first and buy later ;)

Hope it helps... if many people like it I can provide screen captures... but since this is my first thread I would like to check it first ;)

Thanks!

By the way, if you use the webfont generator you will also download the .css files with the .woff and .woff2 typefaces versions already converted there.

Obviously using the @font-face definition... which is awesome and easy ;)
