@Obsolesce said in Finding specific file type that has no extension:

Is there anything inside the file that can tell you? For example, if you write a script that cats each file or whayever and looks for specific string, then moves it if it matches.

I don't know what those files are, so ya. Just thinking out loud without any info.

No, because they are just ancient like ~20 + years old, no extension or really anything to hit on. Apple still supports Postscript Type 1 fonts, but nothing else does.

I managed to get it to work with what I needed with the above.

Additionally I created two reports 1) listing all of he postscript type 1 fonts and 2) listing truetype and opentype fonts.

So now we can build a list of things that needs to get upgraded.

To find the non-extension'd postscript type 1 fonts I used

find . -type f -d -empty >> old-crap.txt

To find the modern fonts I used

find . -name '*.ttf' -d >> modern-font.txt and just replaced .ttf with .otf, .otc, .ttc, .tte and .dfont and appended the same modern-font.txt file for each of those.

Always default but I move asap to dark themes.

Same

Don't know about you guys, but most people use dark themes because they strain their eyes with the light themes.
But the problem is not the theme, because you shouldn't get eye strain with a light theme. The real problem is that the monitor is set way too bright. Like a lot. Monitor brightness should be about equal to the ambient light level. Bright monitors make for punchy images but horrible ergonomics.

Light themes are great with "Night light" mode turned on in Windows 10. It reduces the blue light a lot and is less bright.

I use dark themes + night light + min brightness all day long.

Not at night time?

Every hour of the day or my eyes bleed... Well maybe it is not the min brightness but a close value for sure

Fonts should never come as an .exe - if they do run away.

They come as native font files, you then install them based on the OS, either Mac or Windows does this easily
