Archive architecture #16

The downloaded archive contains archives itself. I suggest to copy the FontSquirrel file architecture. I think it is the more common now and what users except for a web project. What do you think?

Did you convert more then one font when doing this? All fonts are not being uploaded in the same request... So one zip file is returned for each font.

So all zip files gets bundled to one zip file when that happens so the user can save it

If you only get one zip back then you don't get a archive in a archive

Yes I did.

All fonts are not being uploaded in the same request... So one zip file is returned for each font.

How can we avoid that? Traditionally, the webfont structure is all the fonts or font families + a single CSS contained in a folder. To get that, I currently need to unzip all the fonts, merge the font files, merge the CSS lines in a single CSS file. This is a long manual process, too long to complete the task of a converter.
If you achieve to create a .zip file client side, can’t you merge them?

Plus I get a warning from Chrome when I download it:

(in English: "File arcive.zip is not regularly downloaded. It may be dangerous")

There is no error when converting a single font (so there is a single file named onlinefontconverter.com.zip)

This may be due to the nested archives. This may also be due to issue #32, although unlikely.

Hi!

Thanks so much for creating this. I've just sent you a donation too.

Same feedback as above: I converted twenty font files (the variations of the initial typeface; italic, bold, etc.) and found that it became a slight chore to extract all of the zips and sub-zips, then cut + paste the downloaded font files from the multiple folders into one place manually.

Also, I wanted to ask if 'arcive' was spelt that way on purpose?
