Thanks for creating this programme, it works very well!

However, Macs don't typically have make-tools installed.
So it'd be great if you (or someone) made a pre-compiled
mac version of ttf2eot.

Many thanks in advance.

I'm trying to, but without any luck right now.

If I ever end up with a usable mac executable I'll let you know.

Best regards

Thanks, can't wait!

I've tried compiling it on a Mac, but it didn't want to build properly. 
Building it on Linux (on the same machine) 
worked fine though.

I managed to compile ttf2eot, and it seems to do something, so here's a built 
executable for Mac OS X 10.5.7.

There were a few warnings though:

I added a ttf2eot port to MacPorts so you can install it that way if desired.

It compiles and works fine in 10.6.1.   Just converted a ttf.   Worked great.

The build warnings are trivial, and don't affect the function of the binary.

What would really be beneficial to web designers would be a nice NSTask-based 
GUI wrapper for the Terminal-
impaired.  Build a .pkg installer to place this binary in /usr/local/bin and an 
app in /Applications and all the 
Dreamweaver kiddos across the world would sing your praises.

In fact, I may take a crack at such a thing myself...  If no one else has any 
interest, and the leaders of this project 
don't mind.

how I use the compiled version

Hi again.

I just tried to use ttf2eot 0.0.2-2 using both the MacPorts and one compiled 
myself.
With some fonts, both gave me the following error:

unknown error parsing input font, m

Does anyone know why this could be happening and what should I do about it?

Thank you!

I had a ton of troubles with the binary as well- the one I compiled gave me all 
kinds of garbage text in Terminal, gave me no oet. Tried the binary provided 
here, gave me a permission denied error. 

Then I found an online ttf to eot converter which works like a charm:

Heather,

For those like us who got this "garbage text" in the terminal, it's due to the 
lack of  <  >  around the TTF font path. For example, the correct syntax is:

ttf2eot < path/to/some.ttf > output.eot
