electronic papyrus:
-- but realize that you'll be getting the raw bytes of the entire
resource fork, which you'll then have to interpret yourself,
including figuring out where the FOND resource begins and ends.
This will be non-trivial.

Now then - can someone give me an idea of how to open file resources
read-only? I need to grab some esoteric font information from the 'FOND'
resource of font files, and I'd like to do it entirely in AppleScript by
parsing out the file.
