fbit
' format.
Unfortunately, I can't find any documentation on this format. Do you have
this information?
fbit
' fonts since they
have been replaced by 'NFNT
's and 'sbit
's. In addition,
'fbit
' fonts will
be unsupported starting with our next major OS release in mid-to-late
1998.
If you already have a TrueType font, Apple suggests that you use our
Fissioner and Fuser tools (available here) to
create 'NFNT
's instead. The Fissioner tool automatically creates the
'NFNT
's (essentially breaking the font into 256-character chunks). You
can then edit those 'NFNT
's using existing bitmap font editors like
Fontastic or Fontographer or use a resource editor like ResEdit, and then
"fuse
" the 'NFNT
's into 'sbit
' data in the
TrueType font using the Fuser tool.
For more information on 'NFNT
's, please see p. 4-66 to 4-71 of Inside
Macintosh: Text.
For more information on 'sbit
's, please see 'QuickDraw GX Font Formats:
The TrueType(tm) Font Format Specification' on the Mac OS SDK Edition of
the Developer CD Series.
