Convert Variable Font OTF to WOFF2

If you are using online font generators they will break variable fonts as they are designed for static font faces. They will remove all except the default font face.

Create a folder on your desktop. Open your terminal.

Type CD and drag your folder. That way you don’t need to type your path.

Build

git clone --recursive https://github.com/google/woff2.git
cd woff2
make clean all

Run

./woff2_compress path_to_font/myfont.ttf;

You will get a converted .woff2 file next to your file.
