NAME
       ufond -	convert	UNIX font files	into Macintosh format

SYNOPSIS
       ufond [-dfont] [-macbin]	[-res] [-script	name] fontfile...

DESCRIPTION
       The  program ufond takes	UNIX font files, wraps them in a Macintosh re-
       source fork, creates a family for them, and then	wraps that in a	macbi-
       nary or binhex file.

       The program reads one or	more font files, specified at the end  of  the
       command line, using any of the following	formats:

       Glyph Bitmap Distribution (.bdf)

       TrueType	(.ttf)

       OpenType	(.otf)

       POSTSCRIPT Binary format	(.pfb)

       All  fonts  with	 the  same font	family name will be placed in the same
       FOND.  The program associates the name of  a  POSTSCRIPT	 font  with  a
       bitmap font, as well as handling	bold, italic, and other	variants prop-
       erly.

       The generated Macintosh files will be in	one of three formats:

       MacBinary (default)

       dfont (data fork	resource file format, used by MacOS X)

       bare resource fork (you have to know how	to transform this into a real
       resource	fork)

       The  program  normally  assumes that your fonts are in the roman	script
       system.	If this	is not true you	may specify a  script  directly.   The
       program knows the names of a few	scripts	(greek,	cyrillic, hebrew, ara-
       bic)  which may be entered directly; otherwise you must know the	Macin-
       tosh script number.

OPTIONS
       -dfont Generate Macintosh files in dfont	format.

       -macbin
	      Generate Macintosh files in MacBinary format.

       -res   Generate Macintosh files in resource format.

       -script name
	      Specify the Macintosh script number.
