About DFONT
Classic Mac OS kept fonts in suitcases, in a file's resource fork, a part of a file only Macs keep. Mac OS X moved the suitcase into the file's ordinary data in 2001, as a dfont, and shipped its own fonts that way for years.
A dfont holds a resource map with one or more TrueType or OpenType fonts, often the styles of one family, and at times the bitmap sizes Classic Mac OS drew on screen.
Filepeek reads the suitcase in your browser and lists every font in it in the file list. Each opens with all its glyphs, Type and Info, and saves as a TTF or OTF to install on any computer, or as WOFF2 for the web.

Questions
How do I open a DFONT file on Windows?
Drop it on this page or choose Peek a DFONT. Its fonts are listed by name, and each opens on its glyphs.
Can I turn a DFONT into a TTF?
Yes. Open the font you want, then choose Export and Save as TTF, or Save as OTF for CFF outlines, which Windows and Linux install.
Is my file uploaded?
No. The font opens inside your browser and never leaves your device.
