NAME

       lumper - lump a bunch of mac font resources into the same file

SYNOPSIS

       lumper font1.dfont font2.dfont ...

DESCRIPTION

       The  program  lumper  adds  to  the  file  font1.dfont all the mac font
       resources (’sfnt’, ’FOND’, ’NFNT’) found in the subsequent  files.   If
       there  are any resource id conflicts it will generate a new resource id
       (and fix up any references to that id in the ’FOND’ resources).

       The first file should be a mac .dfont file, subsequent  files  may   be
       macbinary  files  (.bin),  binhex files (.hqx), bare Macintosh resource
       forks, or data fork resource files (.dfont, as used  by  MacOS  X).

       The  mac ’FOND’ resource is somewhat limited in the styles permitted in
       a mac font family. Now-a-days a mac font family seems to come in a sin-
       gle file with those fonts that fit into a traditional mac family in one
       FOND and several other FONDs to accomidate the other styles.   Thus  if
       you have the styles:
          Regular,  Bold,  Italic,  BoldItalic,  Condensed,  Oblique,   Light,
         LightItalic
       for a font "Foo", you might find a file called Foo.dfont containing the
       following FONDs:
         Foo
           Regular
           Bold
           Italic
           BoldItalic
           Condensed
         FooOblique
           Oblique
         FooLight
           Light
           LightItalic
