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
