I would love to see some stats for (web server traffic for) WOFF2 vs OTF (which is gzip'd on the wire). Compared to say, the 34 Gigatonnes of JavaScript framework that you're using to display 12 pictures in a grid.

Finally wrote up a small guide on converting TTF fonts to WOFF2 for the web. A year ago I was trying to make some ASCII diagrams look nice, but the *web* font I used did not come with those boxy characters! Which made for an ugly look.

Turns out the actual TTF _had_ those characters. By redoing the font, I was able to make it look nice and meet my expectations, all the while shrinking it in other places for a small asset download.

This method is useful for anyone who wants to port a TTF to WOFF2 for their personal or professional web development.
