(I just found the fondu, I have never used it before caveat emptor).use a tool like Fondu to extract the TTF (or whatever) from the resource fork.extract your Zip archive on that Mac (double-click it, do not use the command-line unzip) and.

It would be best to run them on a Mac, but they might work on Windows, too. I did find a set of tools that might work.

I am not a Windows user and my searches did not turn on any pre-made tools for this. AppleDouble files are used by Mac OS X when storing files that have a resource fork or Finder info on filesystems that do not support resource forks and Finder info (here Zip is considered a filesystem). The _MACOSX/._* files from the Zip file are AppleDouble encoded versions of the combination of the resource fork and some extra Finder information from the original files. On Mac OS X, such fonts look like normal files in Finder, but from tools like ls (and anything else that uses the POSIX layer) these look like zero byte files. (I'm pretty sure that could be improved by tweaking the hinting in the font, but I haven't even begun to understand how TrueType hinting works).For some Mac fonts, the font information is stored entirely in the resource fork of the file. This version of ProFont looks best at 9pt, and IMO, doesn't work as well at larger sizes. If you're looking for a programming font, I use my own tweaked version of ProFont: I'm not as sure about things under the X11 environment, as it may support the X11 form of bitmap fonts, though these won't be available to other native OS X apps. Now, given enough time and the right software, it would be possible to trace the bitmaps to create a vector version, though we'd be talking hours to days of time invested.

However, without corresponding outline font information (either in the form of 'sfnt' TrueType outlines, or in externally referenced PostScript Type 1 Outline fonts), the font won't be usable to the native OS X environment. So, for instance, you might be able to convert the FON bitmaps into a traditional Mac font suitcase that would hold several 'NFNT' (New FONT) bitmap entries, one for each size.

The Mac OS X font architecture requires that fonts be vector-based. I say 'for the most part', because the only part of Mac OS that may have supported explicit bitmaps was QuickDraw, which has been deprecated for quite some time. For the most part, pure bitmap fonts aren't supported in Mac OS X, so you won't really be able to easily convert this to a Mac version that is usable in most native Mac OS X environments.
