[woff2/ttf] Round trip brotli compress & uncompress

[Michael Uplawski]

What are the implications and cosiderations if I use a brotli tool to compress, then decompress a font file, first to WOFF2, then back to ttf?

My gained advantage is obvious. You just look at the files.
Licenses are unharmed by the proces AFAIS. Is there anything else that could prevent me from taking this approach? I have not understood if and how glyphs are changed in the process. So my idea does not seem to have any bad sides (that's odd).

However, let me state (again) that the sizes of font-files are of not much influence on the loading speed, when the right techniques are used. For the time being, I am merely “challenged” by the concepts.

TIA.

Edits: false directions.

A tool like FontForge would be able to tell you that since it logs all issues and errors contained on the font file and it provides the required tools to fix most, if not all issues. I could also be used to do the conversion. Just keep in mind that the font licencie must allow you to manipulate the file in such a way
