I have recently been asked to prepare a set of custom fonts I designed to register a “US Copyright Application filing”. What this means is that the company I worked for want to register the actual code of the font software. They will register both the code and the design pattern but my question is only about the code.
The lawyers in the US are asking for this:
”a copy of the list of files for the font typeface software rending computer program. If there is only one file, then a listing of the files is not needed. I will also need the first fifty and last fifty pages of the largest file in the list. Once again, if the software has only one file, I will need the first fifty pages and the last fifty pages of the program.”
The only thing I come up with is to make an XML-file, but not sure if this is showing the actual “programming code” of the font.
Does anyone have any experience on this? Any help is much appreciated.

You need to first compile your fonts into a final format, such as .otf or .ttf. Then run it through TTX to create a .ttx file. This can be as simple as drag and drop, if Behdad has maintained that functionality.
1. Open Terminal.app
2. Type “ttx “
3. Drag the font (or fonts) onto the terminal window
4. Hit return
Done.
It would probably be more steps to do it with TransType.
Also, to Adrien’s suggestion: dragging a file onto the Terminal window should automatically escape any spaces with a backslash. No need for quotes around the path string.
