Convert PFB to DFONT

The PFB (Printer Font Binary) file extension is associated with Adobe's Type 1 fonts, primarily used in Windows operating systems. These files store font data in a compact binary format, which includes glyph data and encryption for protection. Introduced in the 1980s, PFB files were part of Adobe's PostScript technology, enabling high-quality digital typesetting. They work alongside PFM (Printer Font Metrics) files, which contain character measurements. PFB files are essential for precise font rendering in professional printing and digital design.

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 Historically, DFONT was employed for system fonts like Courier and Helvetica, but it has been largely superseded by TrueType (TTF) and OpenType (OTF) formats.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