I actually did this, and with some googling I've found out that the method for opening resource 
forks used in fondu - appending "/rsrc" to the file name - stopped working already in 
10.7 Lion. (This surprises me a bit, I thought I'd used Lilypond successfully since then, but 
perhaps not with resource fork fonts ...) Instead you must append "/..namedfork/rsrc".

A version of fondu built with this change works with Lilypond, so I can insert 
it in the package on my computer.
Interestingly, for some reson it also seemed to have solved the problem Andrew 
commented on above.

I'm not sure on how to go about to make it into the distributed fondu (which 
will have to test for the OS version, I guess) or Lilypond, and the string is 
repeated in at least some of the other programs of the fondu package, so I 
guess some refactoring would be useful as well.

Any suggestions?
