        Data fork fonts - not necessarily TrueType.  .dfonts are old-style 
font suitcases with the resource fork living in the data fork.  You will 
also find, if you look in the other font folders (/Library, etc.), .ttf 
files (Windows/Unix TrueType fonts) and .otf files (Windows/Unix OpenType 
fonts).

        Yes.  It supports all of the formats supported by Mac OS X - or at 
least it is supposed to ;).
