Hi, Quickly: Charles P. Schaum wrote:
That's right; use fondu. Fontforge can read a .dfont (data fork resource) but it cannot specify something within that to load without user input.
That's ok. It sounds very similar to the .ttc format, and we already have an interface for that. It will be pretty straightforward to import the wrapper reader for .dfont disk files into luatex, so you can expect the wrapper format to be supported within the next month, not a big deal.
Then there is the whole issue of encoding because especially the Apple .dfont files tend to have a number of named glyphs that Fontforge thinks are misplaced.
This can be a problem, but we'll find that out soon enough. I'll work out some basics with Arthur and get back to you and Andrea after that. Best wishes, Taco
