Dmg Font To — Ttf Repack

Using online Convertio or Zamzar is tempting, but these tools strip away advanced typographic features. A proper DMG font to TTF repack ensures:

#!/bin/bash
DMG="$1"
MOUNT=$(hdiutil attach "$DMG" -nobrowse | tail -1 | cut -f3)
find "$MOUNT" -type f \( -name "*.ttf" -o -name "*.otf" -o -name "*.ttc" \) | while read f; do
    if [[ "$f" == *.otf ]]; then
        fontforge -lang=ff -c 'Open($1); Generate($2)' "$f" "$f%.otf.ttf"
    else
        cp "$f" ./output/
    fi
done
hdiutil detach "$MOUNT"
