convert between Mac and UNIX font formats

Fondu is a set of programs to convert between Mac font formats and PFB, TTF, OTF and BDF files on UNIX.

Fondu will read a series of mac files, check their resource forks and extract all font related items into separate files.

The input files may be either macbinary files (.bin), binhex files (.hqx), bare mac resource forks or data fork resource files (.dfont, used by Mac OS/X). A bare resource fork may be generated easily be copying a file with a resource fork onto a floppy (or zip) with a DOS format. The mac will create an (invisible on the mac) folder called resource.frk in which the resource fork will reside as a bare file.
