Hey hey :) I asked on Github, but maybe it wasn't the best place.
Is there a list of officially supported font formats for Flutter? Two reasons I'd like to know: 1) I'd like to add this information to the Flutter Cookbook and 2) I was using WOFF in the `font_awesome_flutter` library, which worked fine on Mac but wasn't quite working on Windows a while back. Therefore, I switched to TTF. This was a bit of a bummer since WOFF has better compression and therefore smaller file sizes.
Thanks for any help!

If I understand correctly, the way WOFF compression works is to put a big part of the font into the decompressor. Since with Flutter you would ship the font with the decompressor together, using TTF instead of WOFF shouldn't make any difference to the final binary size.--

Ah, great info, thanks for sharing. Good to know the final binary size would be equivalent either way.
I think it'd be cool to document that info and the supported font types if possible. I could see others asking the same question and making the same incorrect assumption about file size!

Indeed. Please file a bug if you would like us to add that to our documentation (ideally, please let us know where you looked for that information, so that we can add it in the most useful place!). Thanks!

Thanks! This is the original issue I created here: https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/13823
Was planning on adding this info to the Flutter Cookbook as part of my work on that section of the Flutter website, and happy to help add it in more places as well if ya think it's a good idea.
The only thing missing: Does anyone happen to know what the supported formats are?
