Works like a charm! Great to simple enter “convert dfont to ttf” in Google and this was the first hit! Thanks so much, Peter! (Of course, I then had to donate! It’s worth it.)

Apryl,

Have you tried the steps with FontForge as detailed in http://peter.upfold.org.uk/blog/2009/08/23/dfontsplitter-solution-to-windows-corrupt-font-error/“>this post?

Love that you’ve done this but can’t get usable .ttf files; it splits but when trying to install the fonts on Windows Vista, I get an error message stating that the font is not a valid True Type Font.

Any suggestions?

Thankyou! Exactly what I was looking for and worked like a charm

Robin,

Unfortunately this isn’t possible. The authors of the font simply didn’t include a bold version of the typeface in the file.

Some applications may emulate a bold effect in absence of a real bold version of the font, but I’m not aware of a way to ‘extract’ that into a separate file.

KUDOS! Great work. Lil question, how can I convert Zipfino.dfont to bold? I need this for a button for a website.

Wow. Thanks! That was really easy. I actually downloaded, installed, and ran the app before you even finished talking about it. Now THAT’S a well made app, sir!

Thanks again! =)

1. I opened Applications
2. I clicked on FONT BOOK (it does not open further to allow me to pick a particular font)
3. So I copied the Zapfino.dfont file and put into my applications folder.
4. Clicked on dfontSplitter and it asks me to choose a font first
5. I clicked on the Zapfino.dfont
6. Then asks me to choose a destination folder which I did (folder on desktop called Font Splitter)
7. then I got the following message: “The command exited with a non-zero status”
As you can probably tell from my “computer language” here that I am not a super savy computer type. I am trying to get this font ttf file so I can transfer it to my PC side and do a wedding invitation up. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
