I have a woff file I downloaded from a website that I want to convert for use in word documents and such.

Is there any (free) way to do this?

After much searching I have not found a way, so I am turning to superuser for help.

If you had included the name of the font (or the url of where you found the WOFF file), we might have been able to find a source for TTF or OTF version that wouldn't need conversion and might include more characters. – Dan D. Apr 29 at 6:47

Yes, the WOFF format is a container for the table-based sfnt structure (used by TrueType and OpenType). It adds some meta data to the TTF/OTF font and can also compress the actual font data.

If you want to convert from WOFF to the wrapped TTF/OTF font, you can use the woff2sfnt-tool created by Jonathan Kew at Mozilla. He provides pre-compiled binaries for the sfnt2woff-tool (convert from TTF/OTF to WOFF) for OS X and Windows, but not for the woff2sfnt-tool (convert from WOFF to TTF/OTF), so you have to compile from the source. Easily done if you have a working compiler toolchain — just download the source-zip-file and run make.

When you have a working woff2sfnt binary, you just do:

$ ./woff2sfnt font.woff > font.otf

The resulting font is an ordinary TTF/OTF font that you can use, but please note that if you download a WOFF font from a web site, you are supposed to comply with the license of this font. Licensing information can be included in the WOFF meta data.
