NAME¶
lumper - lump a bunch of mac font resources into the same file
SYNOPSIS¶
lumper font1.dfont font2.dfont ...
DESCRIPTION¶
The program
lumper adds to the file font1.dfont all the mac font
resources ('sfnt', 'FOND', 'NFNT') found in the subsequent files. If there are
any resource id conflicts it will generate a new resource id (and fix up any
references to that id in the 'FOND' resources).
The first file should be a mac .dfont file, subsequent files may be macbinary
files (.bin), binhex files (.hqx), bare Macintosh resource forks, or data fork
resource files (.dfont, as used by MacOS X).
The mac 'FOND' resource is somewhat limited in the styles permitted in a mac
font family. Now-a-days a mac font family seems to come in a sin- gle file
with those fonts that fit into a traditional mac family in one FOND and
several other FONDs to accomidate the other styles. Thus if you have the
styles:
Regular, Bold, Italic, BoldItalic, Condensed, Oblique, Light, LightItalic
for a font "Foo", you might find a file called Foo.dfont containing
the following FONDs:
Foo
Regular
Bold
Italic
BoldItalic
Condensed
FooOblique
Oblique
FooLight
Light
LightItalic
