[RESOLVED] Font File error (.TTF files)

[unforgiven]

Hey, When I download a new font and try to put it in the Font folder, I got an error message saying, "The file (FILENAME) is not a valid font file and cannot be installed." Help me, It does this with every font I try to install.

Where are you getting the font files?

Also, how you are installing them? What version of Windows?

I am using windows vista, I am downloading the fonts from www.dafont.com and i add them by dragging them from the .rar file to the Font folder.

Its resolved now.

Do you mind sharing how you resolved this issue? I'm having the same problem trying to install TT fonts on vista. "The file (FILENAME) is not a valid font file and cannot be installed."

Many thanks in advance,
Sharon

hosnar - Are you using the procedure in dneilson's link? Do the files have a .ttf extension?
