Convert Font Suitcase to TTF

-
TLDR; Use Fondu to convert fonts to .ttf


Sometimes clients send me fonts in Font Suitcase format, and  I'm suppose to include the fonts in their websites.

To convert the fonts to TTF, I use Fondu.
A set of programs to interconvert between mac font formats and pfb, ttf, otf and bdf files on unix. Fondu will read a series of mac files, check their resource forks and extract all font related items into seperate files.

Install Fondu (OSX)
  1. Download Fondu
  2. Open terminal
  3. Change directory to the dir that you extracted fondu in
  4. terminal: ./configure
  5. terminal: make
  6. terminal: sudo make install

Convert Fonts to TTF
  1. Change directory to the dir where your font is.
  2. terminal: fondu <font filename> 
    e.g. fondu Futura.dfont
  3. Done.

Convert to Webfonts
  1. Upload the converted .ttf file to http://convertfonts.com/

And thus all requests to the server failed with the error message: Origin http://example.azurewebsites.net is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin.   In order to make sure there's no problem with my application, I've deployed the same code to Appfog.com . And as expected, the application works just fine. The same application d...

[Magento] Create Contact Form with Dynamic Recipient

-
There are many ways of creating contact forms to email to multiple recipient. I'm going to describe a way that uses Javascript a the frontend to change the target recipient. Advantage of this method: Easy to add in new emails in the future. Disadvantage of this method: For those who are particularly concern email privacy, you might not want to use this method. You can modify the email checking to the backend (controller) instead. Okay enough talking, lets get started. Step 1: Set up HTML form fields I'm going to use an example of drop down select to change the email. Of course, this is fairly easy to modify with other forms as well. Open up app/design/frontend/default/<theme>/template/contacts/contacts.phtml Insert the following snippets anywhere between the <form>...</form> tag. <select name="interest" id="interest" title="<?php echo Mage::helper('contacts')->__('Please select department t...
