What is eot file? How to open eot files?
File type specification:
File extension eot is mainly related to the now discontinued Embedded OpenType font format. It was last used in Internet Explorer 8.
This font format was developed by Microsoft and meant to be used as embedded font on web pages. EOT fonts are usually created from TrueType font (ttf file extension)
Font embedding has been a feature of Microsoft applications, such as Word and PowerPoint, for many years. It allows the fonts used in the creation of a document to travel with that document, ensuring that a user sees documents exactly as the designer intended them. Font embedding technology was built into Microsoft Internet Explorer version 4, bringing embedded fonts to the Web.
The Embedded OpenType font format was discontinued with Internet Explorer 8.
This eot file type entry was marked as obsolete and no longer supported file format.
This type of file is no longer actively used and is most likely obsolete. This is typically the case for system files in old operating systems, file types from long discontinued software, or previous versions of certain file types (like documents, projects etc.) that were replaced in higher versions of their original programs.
