I am new here, so Hi.

I am finding it difficult to locate an EOT font viewer so that I can test converted ttf to eot fonts. It would save a lot of "trial and error" time if anyone knows of one?

Have you asked at Micro$oft's EOT Font Forum [forum.fontlab.com]? There are other methods should you not be able to find viewer:

Embed Fonts:

1) @font-face Generator (Free Online Tool): [fontsquirrel.com...]

2) Use sIFR:

[mikeindustries.com...]
[sitepoint.com...]
[alistapart.com...]

3) Use WEFT (supported by IE only): [microsoft.com...]

4) Expand Your Font Palette Using CSS3: [randsco.com...]

5) CSS @ Ten: The Next Big Thing: [alistapart.com...]

6) CSS3 Embedding @font-face: [zenelements.com...]

7) Bulletproof @font-face syntax: [paulirish.com...]

8) Use a text image in the font you want.

9) Cufon: [cufon.shoqolate.com...]

Thanks. Although I'm already familiar with most of these, they will be handy for anyone stumbling across this page looking for @font-face resources.

I'm personally not keen on using js-based solutions, prefering css-only options and WEFT is a major pain (yeah I know) if compared with font-squirrel for lightweight quick-fix conversions. Paul Irish is new to me and a worthy link, thanks.

Still no EOT viewer tho.

You're welcome. I hope you post back if you find a viewer. Tried searching, but nothing showed in the first 10 pages on each search.
