ttf in Legacy, but no woff

[Vallek]

Hi! I noticed that there is ttf fonts in Legacy Support but no woff. And woff is present in Historic Support. Shouldn't it be the other way around? Since ttf is older then woff?

That's a strange reasoning imo)

1. Yes ttf has more support percentage obviously cause it's older) That's a reason to put in in Historic not Legacy
2. Not sure I understand compression argument as woff also uses the same source structure. woff2 just has different and better compression.
3. Also as far as I know up until recently the standard legacy option was woff+woff2 and before that all three. I never saw anyone uses woff2+ttf without woff.

Anyway thanks for this tool!

@Vallek Roughly six months later, has anything changed with your rationale above? (I'm just a person on the internet trying to help out this project; I don't have any particular experience with font formats.)

@xpe Hi! Nothing changed as far as I know. But I guess the difference between woff and ttf is not that important. The support is pretty similar. woff2+ttf seems wider so i guess it makes sense. It just looked weird to me cause woff2+woff seems more standard. In the end of the day everyone can manually choose what they want)

Also I'm not font expert either and absolutely could be unaware of something else)
