A solid variety of contemporary web-browsers is consistent with the .WOFF mechanics, but a majority of them are not compatible with the noted standard of recent revisions. .WOFF file samples are referenced within .CSS file records using the @font-face condition. Afterwards, the mentioned file schema has been consecutively superseded by .WOFF2 layout entries, which implements extended, advanced compression ratio.
