webify doesn't support WOFF 2.0 and Microtype Express compression for EOF right now. I will update the readme to reflect this. Btw do you know any browser that supports WOFF 2.0.

@ananthakumaran Do you plan to add MicroType express compression to webify? If we get MicroType Express (and in future WOFF 2.0) support webify can be a good alternative for sfntly!.

I might add it in the future. But don't have any solid plans.

As WOFF 2.0 is a Google invention, I suspect bleeding-edge Chrome/Chromium might support it by now. Code exist to support it, apparently: https://chromium.googlesource.com/external/ots/
BTW, looking for WOF 2.0 I just now stumbled across this neat recipe for font optimization, which might be inspirational for webify too: http://pixelsvsbytes.com/blog/2013/11/how-to-create-perfect-web-fonts-in-3-steps/

Here's a note on how to serve WOFF2: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webfonts-wg/2013Apr/0005.html
