Issue when converting these fonts to .otf or .ttf

Open cyruslk opened this issue 4 years ago • 3 comments

Thanks for this great collection! Really looking fw to playing with these.

I've tried converting these to .otf or .ttf with a bunch of Online Font Coverters I found (such as https://onlinefontconverter.com/, https://anyconv.com/fr/convertisseur-de-dfont-en-ttf/ ...) but this translation doe not seem to work. Anything I'm doing wrong?

Sorry, I'm not exactly sure what the issue would be since I've never used any of those online conversion services.

Have you tried using FontForge? That is what I used to convert the original mac resource fork intermediaries into the final macOS datafork .dfont files in the repo. You should be able to install FontForge, open the FontForge/*.sfd font file, and export it in your desired format.

If that doesn't work, feel free to send me a list of the fonts you want converted and I can see if I can provide them for you.

No I have not tried with FontForge! I will try and let you know if this does not work - although it should. Thanks for the offer!

I tried exporting the FontForge file (Geneva, to be exact) but it keeps on exporting blank fonts all the time, what's your recommended settings @JohnDDuncanIII ?
