.FON font installation

David M

I have a program I am trying to run that installs a custom font. The font file ends in .FON which I believe is a Windows 3.1 font file. The file gets installed in "drive_c/windows/fonts/". However, when I try to run the application, I get an error relating to the font not being available.

The Wine manual mentions converting .FON files here: http://www.codeweavers.com/support/docs/wine-user/config-fonts-main but I have not found any information on how to convert it using CrossOver.

Any ideas on how to do this?

That utility isn't in Crossover, but there should be some native Mac apps that will convert the .fon file into a modern truetype font. Check out http://www.fontlab.com/font-converter/transtype/ as a possibility.

Getting Around

CodeWeavers

We're rebels. We're misfits. But mostly, we're software liberators. And we're very, very good at what we do. We have to be. Lots of developers work with open source, but only a tiny fraction of those are good enough to get software that was designed for one platform to work on another one. We invented CrossOver software - a unique approach to cross-platform compatibility that does not require dual-boot or another OS license. We launched PortJump to help app and game developers broaden their market beyond Windows® users. And we launched ExecMode to help organizations solve really ugly technical challenges.
