[comp.sys.apple] Mac Font converter

lwv@n8emr.UUCP (Larry W. Virden) (05/01/88)

I know that there is a mac pgm called font munger out there.  But has
anyone considered writting a II based font converter?  I mean it should
be just as easy for one to run on the II.  Now that Superfonts is out,
any of the two series (just about) should be able to use these fonts.
What I would like to be able to do is download a font from CIS, MACSERV,
etc, run someone's unsit (the source for unsit, in c, was posted to usenet
not too long ago - anyone out there port it to Apple?) on the fit (i
believe it converts binhex, packit and stuffit formats), then run the II-based
font converted to get a II-based font.  Come on you pgming jocks, someone
out there byte the bullet for us!
