Convert OTF to DFONT

OTF, or OpenType Font, is a scalable font format used for both screen and print applications. Developed by Microsoft and Adobe in the mid-1990s, OTF files support advanced typographic features, such as ligatures, small caps, and alternate glyphs, providing enhanced control over text design and layout. It combines the best aspects of PostScript and TrueType fonts, making it versatile for various digital platforms and operating systems. Due to its robust capabilities and broad compatibility, OTF remains a preferred choice for professional designers and typographers.

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 Historically, DFONT was employed for system fonts like Courier and Helvetica, but it has been largely superseded by TrueType (TTF) and OpenType (OTF) formats.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