Microsoft created the EOT file format. It allows web developers to embed OpenType fonts in webpages. So text would display correctly online. Developers could transform existing OpenType fonts into EOT files using WEFT. Then they would link the EOT files with webpages. EOT files were compressed. So they loaded faster over the web. They had copyright-protection features too. Like subsetting and encryption.
Learn how to open or convert .EOT files. Read the information to fix .EOT file errors. What are EOT files? They store OpenType fonts. EOT fonts embed in websites or documents. Modifying or deleting EOT files may prevent fonts from displaying right. Only allowed fonts properly embed in a document.
EOT format details are on the W3 submission page. The page explains the EOT structure. EOT has one EMBEDDEDFONT structure. It provides font name and supported characters. Packing this information lets User Agents avoid unpacking, decompressing or installing the font if it’s already present.
The RootString in EOT files sets permissions. A null RootString allows the font’s use anywhere. Authoring tools should compress TrueType and OpenType fonts. It reduces transmitted font size.
EOT files are scarcely in user file stores. To learn more, see below. We provide EOT file troubleshooting too.
