Fontana is a wrapper around several command line utilities for converting fonts to different formats.

Install the required command line utilites if they do not alreay exist on your system.

  brew install ttf2eot
  brew install fontforge

On Ubuntu the install is not so bad.

  sudo apt-get install fontforge

  wget https://raw.github.com/mdeering/fontana/master/vendor/ttf2eot-0.0.2-2.patched.tar.gz
  tar xvfz ttf2eot-0.0.2-2.patched.tar.gz
  cd  ttf2eot-0.0.2-2
  make
  sudo cp ttf2eot /usr/bin/.

Much of the wrapper is based on the scripts found here https://github.com/zoltan-dulac/css3FontConverter
