With so many people using EOT files for webfonts (to support IE8) I can't believe I am unable to find a single application that supports viewing them. Hopefully I'm missing something obvious but when I Google "eot file viewer" I find nothing but a couple possible virus-looking websites (the ones that have like 1 million different download links all leading to different sites with random junk on them).
I'm working on a PC but also have a Mac available, I have Visual Studio, XCode, Adobe CS3 suite, and a slew of other developer/graphics tools. Of course all of the popular web browsers as well.
I'm troubleshooting a webfont display issue in IE8. It is using my EOT file, but not displaying it exactly as I think it should be. I'd like to rule out anything lost in the conversion issue (I've used web squirl and ufonts and other online converters), which I can only do if I can view the EOT directly not convert to some other format first, or convert some other format to EOT and "assume" it is the same.
if you don't mind converting eot to any other format first like ttf for example, then you can convert it by using my tool onlinefontconverter.com
Fontexplorer X Pro (not free) is able to create a preview of EOT fonts:
http://www.fontexplorerx.com/trial-pro/
Here's a description taken from their website: "Import, organize and preview Web Fonts (WOFF and EOT formats)"
http://www.pkmurphy.com.au/glyphviewer/, maybe? It appears legit, but only supports loading fonts by URL and not by uploading a file.

Currently I have a website made in Joomla that contains documentation about some software (LogicalDOC) in 3 languages.
http://help.logicaldoc.com/
I need to convert the various sections in the corresponding PDF manuals.
So Installation Guide should be converted in a PDF, as well as the other sections: Users Guide, Administrator Guide and Workflow Guide (in the top menu).
I would like to know if there is a software or a different way (plugin) to convert the website in PDF
with navigation menu and possibly also to have the document in CHM format.
I have found a plugin ebook Factory
http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/style-a-design/print-a-pdf/19294
but since it's for Joomla 3 and the website to convert uses an older version I can't try it.
The easiest way is to use (sniping tool) on windows or equivalent tool on your platform and take snapshot pictures of the manual Pages. If you can turn your screen 90 degrees to portrait mode then the format of the pages will look better than widescreen. If you want to include Navigation i think you will need a Full Version of Acrobat or Similar
Free Online tool to turn a collection of JPG pictures into a PDF file.
http://www.convert-jpg-to-pdf.net/
for CHM search the Net to see if you can find a free pdf to chm converter.

Anyone know of a way to have a split screen view in Notepad++ where I can be editing my HTML / CSS in one pane/tab and be seeing the Live Preview of what it would look like in a browser in another tab/pane?
Ideally, this would be:
in Notepad++ itself (using native panes/tabs as described above)
the user could configure whatever browser rendering engine (Chrome, FF, IE, etc...) they wanted to view the preview in
However, I could live with any variation of the two above, e.g. simply integrated with RubyMine using external windows/browsers, or maybe, the preview only available with limited rendering engines (only Chrome let's say).
The plugin Preview HTML is the closest match to what your are looking for.
Go to the Plugins menu and then find the Preview HTML entry to install it. Its description is: Preview HTML files inside Notepad++ (or in a floating window) without having to save them first. The latest update now refreshes the preview automatically after switching tabs, or whenever the document is changed.
More information in the official website.
I think you're looking for it，the"Preview HTML".
this is the Introduction：http://chiselapp.com/user/vor0nwe/repository/npp_preview/home
Well this is now 8! years old. But I'd thought I'd chime in. The author of the plug in is no longer updating it, and, at least in my machine, it's not working anymore. 1
The plug-in author's suggestion would be to use a more modern text editor (like Visual Studio Code) and use one of the extensions. (Live Preview)
I know programs such as Webstorm JetBrains 6.0.1 can do this, you will have to download the chrome extension also. If not, then you can always use Codeacademy.com as an alternative and type code into there editor. It still works. :/
Just came across this post.
Years ago had been interested in Notepad++ but found it too limited as wanted it to be more of a wysiwyg type interface and not just text. Plus, would be awesome to be able to have sortable tables inside notes. The closest I've found to do these things are PIM tools such as OneNote or EssentialPIM.

If I want to include a font in my open-source project, how do I know if its OK to do this?
Are the fonts that come with MS Windows ok?
Are the fonts that come with OSX ok?
Are the fonts that come with Linux ok?
Are the Google open fonts ok?
There are sources for free fonts, but none of the fonts you mention are necessarily going to be among them, although the Google Web Fonts are probably your best bet.
It's just like any code that you're planning to incorporate into your project: if you didn't write it, find out what the license says. What you want are fonts that are not just "free", or "open source" but free to redistribute. Here's a relevant discussion on gamedev.
Here's a list of five sources for open source fonts, many of which will fit your criteria. (It includes Google Web Fonts.)

Is there any way to render a PDF from a HTML doc styled with CSS3 Generated Content for Paged Media?
If there is not an application like that, what can I use as a base to build such a converter?
Thanks
They only application I know of that can possibly convert HTML/CSS3 to good quality PDF is PrinceXML. (And it is my impression, that Google licensed and utilizes their code somehow in GoogleDocs for PDF export.)
However, this is a commercial application, and I think it comes with a hefty price tag.
One of it's leading lights is Håkon Lie, who is also behind all the technical achievements of the Opera web browser.
Here is a 2 years old Google Tech Talks video where Lie outlines some of the technologie behind PrinceXML:

wkhtmltopdf should handle this very nicely.
http://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/
Searching the web, I have found
several command line tools that allow
you to convert a HTML-document to a
PDF-document, however they all seem to
use their own, and rather incomplete
rendering engine, resulting in poor
quality. Recently QT 4.4 was released
with a WebKit widget (WebKit is the
engine of Apples Safari, which is a
fork of the KDE KHtml), and making a
good tool became very easy.good tool became very easy.
DOMPDF is an open source PHP project to convert HTML to PDF documents, but it doesn't support CSS3 generated content, but the project is very active. You are welcome to participate !
It's CSS 2.1 support is pretty good, and a few CSS3 properties have been added recently in the SVN trunk.

I've found wkhtmltopdf, which looks good on the surface and works fine in very small cases, but it doesn't provide any real css control over the rendering.
By that I mean it doesn't use the print media type and page breaks are not respected, as well, on windows you can't control the names of some header/footer variables, or generate a TOC off of teh h1 tags.
Are there any real open source alternatives, I've tried xhtml2pdf which is a python library actually called pisa, but it requires reportlab which doesn't play nice windows.
I'm actually programming in .net but if its good and open source, the language isn't a huge issue.
This is an old stackoverflow question, but because google took me here, it could be helpful for somebody else.
Weasyprint should support what the author was looking for.
It supports print css features like page break.
Try weasyprint
It turns out there was no open source alternative that was simpler, but on windows wkhtmltopdf is just not the best thing, so we paid for a better solution.
Winnovative's PDF library is what we used
While it is not open-source, I use ABCPDF. I have a template page in .NET that I use for a wrapper to set up a custom stylesheet for generating PDFs only.
