NAME
       fondu - convert Macintosh font files to UNIX font format

SYNOPSIS
       fondu  [-force]	[-inquire]  [-show]  [-latin1]	[-afm] [-trackps] mac-
       file...

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) us-
       ing 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 ro-
	      man encoding to latin1.

       -trackps
	      If the macfiles argument mentions	a file containing a FOND,  and
	      that  FOND mentions external PostScript resource files, then at-
	      tempt 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.
