- ufond - converts a series of UNIX font files into equivalent Mac font files
- ufond [ options ] files ...
- 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.
-
- 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.
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:
- 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.
- fondu(1) , showfond(1) , dfont2res(1) , tobin(1) , frombin(1) , lumper(1) , setfondname(1) .
