How to Convert D-Font to TTF in Windows

Convert D-Font files with software or online.

Macintosh OS X uses D-Font, or.dfont, files to store fonts. OS X stores the fonts in the data fork section of the file, alongside the text itself, rather than in the resources fork. Windows uses a type of font file called TTF; the two are not interchangeable without conversion software. Luckily, a number of freely available, easy-to-use programs can convert D-Font to TTF in Windows.
