    I am writing this tutorial kind of post just to make help of myself in future in cases if i mess with something.

    Font Awesome Manager addon can be found at below link
    Beta - Font Awesome Manager

    First do install python 3, the instructions are well written in below article

    Sysadmin - CentOS 7 Python 2.7 will reach the end of its life on January 1st, 2020

    In case if your server GCC version is below 8 or get error while making

    make changes to below command given in above article for python installation.

    Code:
    if [[ "$(nproc)" -le '2' ]]; then time ./configure --prefix=/opt/python${python_prefixver} --with-openssl=/usr; else time ./configure --enable-optimizations --prefix=/opt/python${python_prefixver} --with-openssl=/usr; fi
    do remove

    --enable-optimizations


    so it will be

    Code:
    if [[ "$(nproc)" -le '2' ]]; then time ./configure --prefix=/opt/python${python_prefixver} --with-openssl=/usr; else time ./configure --prefix=/opt/python${python_prefixver} --with-openssl=/usr; fi
    Then do install Fonttools with following command

    Code:
    pip3 install fonttools[woff]
    Once you installed the fonttools
    Simple path to pyftsubset in above case of installation
    /home/python_projects/myproject/bin/pyftsubset

    now you can use pyftsubset in FAM.

    FYI, you should be fine with just using Python 3.6 supported side by side with Python 2.7 on CentOS 7

    Just run the python 3.6 installer addon for Centmin Mod
    Code (Text):
    /usr/local/src/centminmod/addons/python36_install.sh

    Then you can call that version of pip via pip3.6 command
    Code (Text):
    pip3.6 install -U pip
pip3.6 install fonttools
pip3.6 install fonttools[woff]

    Code (Text):
     pip3.6 install fonttools

    Any clue about this error on the default python 2.7?

    Code:
    # pip install fonttools[woff]
DEPRECATION: Python 2.7 reached the end of its life on January 1st, 2020. Please upgrade your Python as Python 2.7 is no longer maintained. pip 21.0 will drop support for Python 2.7 in January 2021. More details about Python 2 support in pip can be found at https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/development/release-process/#python-2-support pip 21.0 will remove support for this functionality.

    Using this addon on XF2.2 and CentOS 7.9 default Python 2.7 (without the extra Python 3.6 install)

    I can just use pyftsubset with these pip install commands:

    By doing so... Transfonter.org vs pyftsubset local with Brotli:
    File size decrease from 16.2kb to 15kb.
    Nice :)

    No need to delete if you followed my post above, you'd just have fonttools installed in 2 locations

    but if you installed with below
    Code (Text):
    python3.6 -m pip install fonttools --force --verbose

    I'm seeing 3 different sets of instructions in this thread.
    1. The OP.
    2. rdan's method.
    3. eva's method.

    What's the deal? I guess I'll go with eva's method...
