Using CSS with google font - all formats?

I'm using Google's font : Roboto

When I download the zip file ( in order to use it localy) - I get this zip file :

enter image description here

But in order to use this font with older browsers I need this format : 

@font-face {
  font-family: 'MyWebFont';
  src: url('webfont.eot'); /* IE9 Compat Modes */
  src: url('webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'), /* IE6-IE8 */
       url('webfont.woff') format('woff'), /* Modern Browsers */
       url('webfont.ttf')  format('truetype'), /* Safari, Android, iOS */
       url('webfont.svg#svgFontName') format('svg'); /* Legacy iOS */
}

But as You can see - I don't have the eot , woff , svg formats.

There are online tools but they yield different results.

Question:

How/Where can I get the most trusted/official formats for my google font ?

Solution

  • Option One: http://everythingfonts.com/font-face - Use this to upload your file and it will convert to cross browser @font-face.

    Option Two:

    First Step -> https://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/Roboto

    Second Step -> Open Roboto in Google Fonts (top right corner link)

    Third Step -> Choose the way you'd like to call the font for your body (follow the steps) - Standard - @import - Javascript
