I beg to differ.  The files in question seem to contain the font 
definitions much the same way as a suitcase would.

The file type is FFIL but the info pane identifies it as a "Font 
Suitcase" there are also dfonts which are identified as Datafork 
TrueType.  My font folder contains very few actual .ttf files.

And I've been specifying the font by name.  "Courier" or "Courier New" I 
tried "Courier.ttf" as well, the result was always a crash.

But no matter.  Using a converter fixes the problem.
