"COMPILE" font fatal error

[Eric Schneider]

Seasons Greetings,

Every time I try to run the COMPILE command any font from this family, I get a fatal error. Can someone please try it their machine and see it will work? It's post it in 'customer-files' with the heading '"COMPILE" font fatal error

Save your work first!

Thanks in advance.

You posted a .PFM file, which is a PostScript *metrics* file, and is not compilable. You can compile a .PFB or a .SHP file, but not .PFM.

OK. You and Dave got me. The PFB file is there now. Thanks Paul.

Your .PFB file appears to be corrupted. Windows rejects it as well; it's not an AutoCAD problem.

It works in Illustrator though. Hmmm I have a TTF version of it but that makes a drawing real sluggish. What version of AutoCAD are you running? I was hoping someone with A2k4 or something would give it a try.

Thanks again Paul.
