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), bin-
       hex(.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.
