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 re-
     source 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 Macin-
     tosh 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), binhex(.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  Post-
	    Script files, and kerning data from the FOND.
