ufond - converts a series of UNIX font files into equivalent Mac font files
SYNOPSIS
ufond [ options ] files ...
DESCRIPTION
Ufond is the reverse of
fondu(1) . Ufond takes UNIX font files, wraps them up into a Mac resource
and creates a family for them which is, in turn, wrapped up in a
MacBinary or BinHex file.
Ufond will read a series of .bdf, .ttf, .otf and .pfb files from the
command line. All fonts with the same font family name will be placed
in the same FOND. Ufond should handle associating a PostScript font
with a bitmap font properly. Ufond should also handle bold, italic,
etc. properly.
The generated Mac files will be in one of three formats:
MacBinary (default)
dfont (data fork resource file format used by Mac OS X)
resource (a bare resource fork)
Ufond assumes that your fonts are in the Roman script system. If this
is not true you may specify a script directly. Ufond knows the names
of a few scripts (Greek, Cyrillic, Hebrew, Arabic) and you may enter
these directly; otherwise you must know the Macintosh script number.
OPTIONS
A summary of options is included below.
-dfont
Generate a Mac OS X dfont file.
-macbin
Generate a resource fork inside a Mac binary file.
-res
Generate a data file containing a bare resource fork. (You will still
have to figure out how to get this into a real resource fork.)
-script name|code
Specify a Mac script directly, either by name, such as Roman or
Cyrillic (note that not all names are recognized), or code, a
number representing the script.
