Hiya.
Thanks for the feedback and the reference! Please see also my separate
answer to Character's findings.
When you say "yours open for me", do you mean the woff versions, or the
OTFs I produced from them? Because the OTFs are effectively
'conversions', although I have tried to *not* convert the glyph
information from PS to TTF or vice versa.
I didn't mention how I got to the woff versions in the first place, but
that's simple: Using the Chrome browser, open the Developer Tools
window. When the page with teh woffs is loaded, the fonts show up in the
Resources pane (with a neat little preview for each when selected!).
Double clicking the woff name will download them, but in most cases one
has to add the .woff extension by hand.
I also found that this works for the TypeKit site as well, but the woffs
are encoded there as data stream. Double clicking these download an
untitled file. I just added the .woff extension and I was good to go.
So again, thanks for thinking along!
