dna	hey All. I have some TTF files that give the error message: ' (somefontname.TTF) is not a valid font file.' How do I fix this? This occured on a whole folder of fonts for some reason. I went into the internet and cannot find any of them to replace thee folder with good ones. -=-=- DNA

Jayenkai	If the movie TRON has taught us anything, it's to not go into the Internet. The computer world is not a pretty place. Double click a font, then copy it's name exactly as the windows-font-viewer says it. If "HappyFont.ttf" actually describes itself as "Satan Is King", then that's what you call it. (Be sure to add the .ttf back on the end) Rename the file to its real name, and it should work fine. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Mog	Oh noez! Now you're going to get a bunch of satanists coming here, and they'll burn down your house when you close their topics!!1 Back on topic- I'm curious as to what could corrupt fonts. Did you try to look at them in the font viewer? Are they showing up in any sort of text editor? -=-=- I am Busy Mongoose - My Website Dev PC: AMD 8150-FX, 16gb Ram, GeForce GTX 680 2gb Current Project: Pyroxene

Jayenkai	It's not corruption, it's the Blitz2D/3D/Plus works with font names. It wants the "Name of Font" to be identical to the "Filename of Font.ttf" -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

dna	Double click a font, then copy it's name exactly as the windows-font-viewer says it. The Font viewer will not open them. What next? -=-=- DNA

Jayenkai	Well then, yes, your fonts are corrupt. Delete the lot, and start again. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

dna	I was hoping that I would not have to do that. I'll have to forget them then. -=-=- DNA

dna	I installed fontdoctor, the full version, and got the error that there was a problem witht the font name. It might be a simple fix if I can get the format or the right name repairing utility. -=-=- DNA
