<p>This specification defines a method to incrementally transfer a font
from server to client. The client loads only the portion(s) of the font that
they actually need, significantly reducing data transfer. Multiple incremental
additions to the same font are possible, such as a user agent updating a font
as a user browses multiple pages. Incremental transfer improves on
unicode-range by avoiding damage to layout (kerning, ligatures, etc) rules,
meaning it can efficiently support fine grained increments to latin and
to complex scripts like Indic or Arabic.</p>

<p><em>This section is not normative.</em></p>
<p>Incremental Font Transfer (IFT) is a technology to improve the latency of remote fonts (or "web fonts") on
the web. Without this technology, a browser needs to download every last byte of a font before it can render
any characters using that font. IFT allows the browser to download only some of the bytes in the file, thereby
decreasing the perceived latency between the time when a browser realizes it needs a font and when the
necessary text can be rendered with that font. Unlike traditional font subsetting approaches Incremental Font Transfer
retains the encoding of layout rules between segments (<a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/PFE-evaluation/#fail-subset">Progressive Font Enrichment: Evaluation Report § fail-subset</a>).</p>
<p>The success of WebFonts is unevenly distributed. This specification allows WebFonts to be used where
slow networks, very large fonts, or complex subsetting requirements currently preclude their use. For
example, even using WOFF 2 <a data-link-type="biblio" href="#biblio-woff2" title="WOFF File Format 2.0">[WOFF2]</a>, fonts for CJK languages can be too large to be practical.</p>

<p>See the Progressive Font Enrichment: Evaluation Report <a data-link-type="biblio" href="#biblio-pfe-report" title="Progressive Font Enrichment: Evaluation Report">[PFE-report]</a> for the investigation which led
to this specification.</p>

<p>An <dfn class="dfn-paneled" data-dfn-type="dfn" data-noexport id="incremental-font">incremental font</dfn> is a regular <a data-link-type="biblio" href="#biblio-open-type" title="OpenType Specification">OpenType</a> font that is reformatted to include incremental functionality,
partly in virtue of two additional <a href="https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/typography/opentype/spec/otff#table-directory">tables</a>. Using these new tables the font can be augmented
(eg. to cover more code points) by loading and applying patches to it.</p>
<p>The IFT technology has four main pieces:</p>
<ul>
<li data-md>
<p><a href="#extending-font-subset">§ 4 Extending a Font Subset</a>: provides the algorithm that is used by a client to select and apply patches.</p>
<li data-md>
<p><a href="#font-format-extensions">§ 5 Extensions to the Font Format</a>: defines the new tables which contain a list of patches that are available to be applied to a font.</p>
