Thanks Wolfgang, yes, I meant that.
Well, I looked at the info and "kind" was "True Type". Didn't know  
that the type can be packed in a dfont format.
I can see from "location" that most of system fonts are dfont, other  
are ttf.
But sometimes there's no indication, e.g. Library/Fonts/Bradley Hand  
ITC TT-Bold.
How can I understand the format

Thanks
Best
