WOFF to DFONT conversion is the process of transforming a web-optimized font file (WOFF) into Apple/macOS-compatible DFONT format so the typeface can be installed and used natively on macOS systems. This conversion extracts the underlying font outlines, metrics, and tables from the WOFF container and repackages them into the resource-fork–based DFONT structure while preserving glyph integrity and layout information.
