The @font-face CSS rule allows web developers to specify online fonts to display text on their web pages. By allowing authors to provide their own fonts, @font-face eliminates the need to depend on the limited number of fonts users have installed on their computers. Usage: click the Add font(s) button, select the TTF, OTF, WOFF, WOFF2 or SVG fonts on your computer and click Convert. FontCreator by High-Logic B.V. Is a piece of software that was designed to help you create and edit fonts. As the release of FontCreator for Mac has not been announced yet, you can use one of the alternative font editing tools for Mac. This list contains several apps that can serve as replacements for FontCreator for Mac.
Install fonts
Double-click the font in the Finder, then click Install Font in the font preview window that opens. After your Mac validates the font and opens the Font Book app, the font is installed and available for use.
You can use Font Book preferences to set the default install location, which determines whether the fonts you add are available to other user accounts on your Mac.
Fonts that appear dimmed in Font Book are either disabled ('Off'), or are additional fonts available for download from Apple. To download the font, select it and choose Edit > Download.
Disable fonts
You can disable any font that isn't required by your Mac. Select the font in Font Book, then choose Edit > Disable. The font remains installed, but no longer appears in the font menus of your apps. Fonts that are disabled show ”Off” next to the font name in Font Book.
Remove fonts
You can remove any font that isn't required by your Mac. Select the font in Font Book, then choose File > Remove. Font Book moves the font to the Trash.

macOS supports TrueType (.ttf), Variable TrueType (.ttf), TrueType Collection (.ttc), OpenType (.otf), and OpenType Collection (.ttc) fonts. macOS Mojave adds support for OpenType-SVG fonts.
Legacy suitcase TrueType fonts and PostScript Type 1 LWFN fonts might work but aren't recommended.

About
FontPrep takes your TTF and OTF font files and generates all of the respective font-formats for the web: WOFF, EOT, and SVG.
How it works
FontPrep uses a slightly modified version of cocoa-rack (https://github.com/briangonzalez/cocoa-rack). In essence, when you start FontPrep, you're starting a little Sinatra app on port 7500 then instantiating a webview pointing at that server.
Commands are sent from the webview back down to the Sinatra server as you interact with FontPrep, and commands are piped to stdout (be it FontForge, ttf2eot, etc.) to complete the given task. We use a little Applescript magic when necessary.
The main Sinatra logic lives inside of fontprep/server. The sinatra server is daemonized, meanings its process will persist across closing/opening of FontPrep. To kill FontPrep's server outright, visit http://127.0.0.1:7500/kill in your browser.
Building FontPrep
Simply open up FontPrep.xcodeproj with the latest version of XCode, go to Product -> Clean then Product -> Run or Product -> Archive to create a binary.
Updating FontPrep
Be sure to increment the Version and Bundle inside XCode to update FontPrep correctly. Incrementing these values is what tells FontPrep to kill old daemonized server processes.
A word of caution
This code has not been incredibly well maintained over the years. Tread lightly and have fun breaking FontPrep.
