Windows Font Library (.fon)

The FON file extension is associated with an old font format from early Windows versions. As an executable-like file labeled as FON, it serves as a container for font collections, which are stored in the FNT format. Despite being outdated and replaced by scalable TrueType fonts, FON files remain supported for backward compatibility and are accessible through the Windows Font Viewer.

Data Fork Font (.dfont)

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 Historically, DFONT was employed for system fonts like Courier and Helvetica, but it has been largely superseded by TrueType (TTF) and OpenType (OTF) formats.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