I’m using a font from TypeKit on a website. The website’s design is made in Photoshop and I’d very much like to have the font available while designing. But TypeKit only allows you to embed the fonts on a website and doesn’t provide any downloadable files.
However, I can of course just open the Web Inspector, go to Network and download the font (it’s a “base64 URL”, so I can’t just download the file from a server). But for some reason I can’t install the font. I get some kind of (parsing?) error in OS X. I have also tried several converters from OTF to TTF/WOFF with similar results. If I serve the downloaded font to a web browser it works, though.
So, is it possible to make a font (OTF in this case) to only work in the browser?
Apparently, the base64 encoded string isn’t in OTF format, as the MIME type suggests, but in WOFF format. So after converting the downloaded file from WOFF to TTF/OTF it can be installed.
