So implementations which plan to support it can of course do so. Just like they may already support other formats (EOT, CFF, raw TT/OT, SVG). Well, my question was whether or not it's allowed for the *FontWG* to work on it, not for browsers to implement it. The charter explicitly says that we shouldn't be working on any new formats other than WOFF. Is CWT new enough to be restricted by this, or is the fact that it's just a reinterpretation of an existing format enough to let it slide? > Are you aware of implementations which plan to add CWT support? Except for IE which will support it by default with no further effort (interpreting it as EOT), not as of yet. Unfortunately. ~TJ
