            Bug ID: 152427
           Summary: Support WOFF2
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: WebKit
           Version: WebKit Nightly Build
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: CSS
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org

At Adobe Typekit we've seen a significant compression increase by serving web fonts in the WOFF2 format instead of the WOFF format. The increase is on average 28%. This allows us to deliver web fonts faster and reduce network traffic at the same time. It would be great if WebKit could implement support for WOFF2 as well. Chrome, Firefox, and Opera already support WOFF2.

WOFF2 specification: http://www.w3.org/TR/WOFF2/
Reference implementation: https://github.com/google/woff2

Implementing WOFF2 also opens up the door to using Brotli as a standalone general purpose compression algorithm.
