Convert DFONT to SVG FONT
Convert DFONT fonts to SVG FONT format, edit and optimize fonts online and free.
The DFONT file extension stands for "Data Fork Font", a format used in Mac OS X (now macOS). Introduced to replace the older resource fork-based TrueType fonts, DFONT consolidates all font data into the data fork, enhancing compatibility with the OS X file system. Historically, DFONT was employed for system fonts like Courier and Helvetica, but it has been largely superseded by TrueType (TTF) and OpenType (OTF) formats. DFONT files are specific to macOS and cannot be used on Windows or Linux systems.
Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) is an XML-based vector image format developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) in 1999. It is widely used for defining two-dimensional graphics, including fonts, due to its ability to scale without loss of quality. SVG fonts, defined using the <font> element, enable embedding glyph information directly within SVG files, ensuring correct text rendering across different platforms. The format's history began with six competing proposals in 1998, leading to its adoption as a W3C standard in 2001.
