SVG File Confusion

Pablo;
Is there any way for WWB to detect the difference between an SVG file and an SVG variation of a font that has an SVG extension? In the options under the "File Type Output Folder", I have assigned the SVG extension to go to the "Fonts" folder because I want all the fonts to be there, Of course I have a lot of SVG (image) documents which I want to go to "Images" folder, but they end up in the "Fonts" folder.
Can it detect the difference? Is this even possible?

zinc ... spot on
I have wondered this every time I stumbled on the issue.... but forgot to ask in the forum.
But my take on it is that you probably don't nead to use svg fonts any more. Just ttf woff woff2 for fonts, but different with iconfonts I think.

There is no easy way to detect the difference.
But why are you still using SVG fonts?
Most browsers have stopped support for it a long time ago, because these files are usually huge.

@Buesman & @Pablo - I did not know that I no longer need it. In that case I can just use these:
ttf woff woff2
?

woff and woff2 will work in most browsers.
No, need for ttf

Now I got some confused "No need for ttf"?
I use this in the Windows OS for having in the fontlist of WWB? Can I install the woff in the Windows OS

You only need the TTF for Windows , not for the web.
So, you will need to install TTF in Windows so you can work with the font. But it's not needed for @font-face.

@pablo what you are saying is to ignore the other formats and just add these two? See attached.

Correct, unless you want to support very old browsers.
