| | Cannot install .fot fonts I'm trying to copy some fonts from my XP machine to Vista machine. They end in the extension .fot. XP says they are TrueType fonts. When I try to install them I get the error "The file is not a valid font file and cannot be installed." How can I install these fonts? |

How can I install these fonts? ..Those .fot files are not fonts. They were used in Windows 3.1 to give the ability to use TrueType fonts, like Macs could. They are like junction points. You must have copied them from a much older machine than your XP one. ss. |
