NAME¶
fondu - convert Macintosh font files to UNIX font format
SYNOPSIS¶
fondu [
-force] [
-inquire] [
-show] [
-latin1]
[
-afm] [
-trackps]
macfile...
DESCRIPTION¶
The program
fondu reads a series of Macintosh font files, checks their
resource forks, and extracts all font related items into separate files.
Input files may be either macbinary files (.bin), binhex files (.hqx), bare
Macintosh resource forks, or data fork resource files (.dfont, as used by
MacOS X). A bare resource fork may be generated easily be copying a file with
a resource fork onto a diskette (or zip drive) using DOS format. The Macintosh
will create a folder called resource.frk (invisible on the Macintosh itself),
in which the resource fork will reside as a bare file.
The command line should end with a list of one or more Macintosh font files,
macfile...; these files should be macbinary (.bin), binhex(.hqx), or
bare resource fork files.
OPTIONS¶
- -force
- Force overwriting of the original file.
- -inquire
- Prompt for input before overwriting files. This overrides
-force.
- -show
- Print out each file as it is created.
- -latin1
- Recode any macintosh bitmap fonts (NFNTs) from the
macintosh roman encoding to latin1.
- -trackps
- If the macfiles argument mentions a file containing a FOND,
and that FOND mentions external PostScript resource files, then attempt to
open those PostScript files as well as processing the original file.
- -afm
- For any macfile which contains a FOND and points to at
least one PostScript resource file create an Adobe Font Metrics (afm)
file. Fondu will merge width and bounding box information from the
PostScript files, and kerning data from the FOND.
