NAME

lumper - lump a bunch of mac font resources into the same file

SYNOPSIS

lumper font1.dfont font2.dfont ...

DESCRIPTION

The program lumper adds to the file font1.dfont all the mac font resources ('sfnt', 'FOND', 'NFNT') found in the subsequent files. If there are any resource id conflicts it will generate a new resource id (and fix up any references to that id in the 'FOND' resources).

The first file should be a mac .dfont file, subsequent files may be macbinary files (.bin), binhex files (.hqx), bare Macintosh resource forks, or data fork resource files (.dfont, as used by MacOS X).

The mac 'FOND' resource is somewhat limited in the styles permitted in a mac font family. Now-a-days a mac font family seems to come in a sin- gle file with those fonts that fit into a traditional mac family in one FOND and several other FONDs to accomidate the other styles. Thus if you have the styles:


Regular, Bold, Italic, BoldItalic, Condensed, Oblique, Light, LightItalic

for a font "Foo", you might find a file called Foo.dfont containing the following FONDs:

Foo
Regular
Bold
Italic
BoldItalic
Condensed
FooOblique
Oblique
FooLight
Light
LightItalic
