Convert DFONT to TTF

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 Historically, DFONT was employed for system fonts like Courier and Helvetica, but it has been largely superseded by TrueType (TTF) and OpenType (OTF) formats.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.

TTF, or TrueType Font, is a digital font standard developed by Apple in the late 1980s to ensure high-quality text display on screens and printers. It was later adopted by Microsoft, becoming widely used in both Mac and Windows operating systems. TTF files contain vector outlines for each character, allowing scalable text that maintains clarity at any size. Its major uses include web design, desktop publishing, and software development, where precise and consistent font rendering is critical. The TTF format revolutionized typography by providing cross-platform compatibility and superior control over font appearance.
