Embedded OpenType

Embedded OpenType (EOT) fonts are a compact form of OpenType fonts designed by Microsoft for use as embedded fonts on web pages. These files use the extension .eot. They are supported only by Microsoft Internet Explorer, as opposed to competing WOFF files.

These font files can be created from existing TrueType font files using Microsoft's Web Embedding Fonts Tool (WEFT), and other proprietary and open source software (see “External links” below).

The font files are made small in size by use of subsetting (only including the needed characters), and by data compression (LZ compression, part of Agfa's MicroType Express). Like OTF fonts, EOT supports both Postscript and TrueType outlines for the glyphs.

Simply including fonts in webpages might lead to unrestricted copying of copyrighted font files. Embedded OpenType includes features to discourage copying. Subsetting reduces the value of copying, as subsetted fonts will typically omit more than half of the characters. Other copy protection measures used are encryption and a list of "trusted roots" at the source end, and a proprietary decrypting library at the receiving end.

    Braindead Hero

    by: Udo

    For a long time he's been lucky man
    No difference if it's good or bad
    The trigger's his - the orders others
    No way to stop the final blow
    The message: here ya go
    The countdown's on a roll
    War against the world
    All systems deadly armed
    Machine, man, all in one
    They're all oblivious to the crime
    Braindead hero
    Braindead hero - out of the sun he comes
    Braindead hero
    Braindead hero - feel the blazing guns
    Now we got to blow his circuitry
    Drain the poison from his veins
    Degenerate - corrupt his memories
    Fire at will - just do or die
    The message: here ya go
    The countdown's on a roll
    War against the world
    All systems deadly armed
    Machine, man, all in one
    They're all oblivious to the crime
    Braindead hero
    Braindead hero -like a hammer from the sky
    Braindead hero
    Braindead hero - supersonic cry
    You better stay just where you are
    Consequences in the fire
    Braindead hero
    Braindead hero - out of the sun he comes
    Braindead hero
