Convert DFONT to TTF

File Extension DFONT
Full Name Mac OS X Data Fork Suitcase Format

File with a .DFONT extension contains a standard Mac OS font. The content of a font is contained in the part of a file called in Mac OS the „data fork”, instead of the resources part – „resource fork”.

Files with the .TTF extension contain fonts written in the form of Bezier curve templates, which allows for scaling without losing quality.

What is file format conversion?

File format conversion is the process of transforming a file from one format (referred to as "DFONT") to another (referred to as "TTF"). This may be necessary for various reasons.

So, how can we perform DFONT to TTF file conversion? Fortunately, there are many tools and computer programs available that enable file format conversion. These tools work by reading the data from the file in format DFONT and transforming it into format TTF. This allows the preservation of the original information contained in the file, even after changing its format. Below you will find a list of DFONT to TTF converters.
