Comment(by ryandesign@…):
"Old Mac fonts" are those having a resource fork. As far as I remember,
Tiger was the last time Apple shipped any of those; since Leopard, it has
shipped fonts using the data fork only. If tdvipdfmx checks for freetype's
ability to load resource-fork-based fonts as some kind of indication of
whether it can work at all on a Mac, then that sounds like a bug in
tdvipdfmx that needs to be fixed.
