Saving Error even when using XP

#1 Post by animp » 16 Jul 2013 17:18

I spent a few hours last night making Chinese fonts and before I stopped, I saved my progress. This morning when I tried to open the fonts I got an error report. Now every project I make simply does not show up when I try to open the saved file. The saved file still has a size, and it is there where I saved it. But instead of opening the file, all I get is a blank page with no fonts of any sort.

Can anyone help me fix the problem?

PS. I can still open old fonts I created. Just not any new ones.

Hello,

I am using windows XP. And I just tried opening my old Russian fonts again and now they don't work either.

Thanks,
Andrew

Hi,

If I understand you correctly, you have created some font earlier, now you have opened up them again in the GLCD Font Creator and they don't appear properly
or they do not work when used in the code ?

Filip.

Correct. All of my old fonts I try to open don't open properly, and any new font I make opens the same way. They are all saved onto my computer still, they just don't open.

Hi,

Did you reinstall the operating system in the meantime ?
It doesn't seem logical that you have generated fonts on the same computer/OS and after some time you have tried to open these fonts under the same conditions and it doesn't work.

Hi,

The problem I'm having isn't logical. I have not reinstalled my os, or changed my computer in any way. The fonts simply stopped working.

Thanks,
Andrew

Hi,

Could you please attach these fonts so I could try to open them ?

I just tried to attach the fonts but it says, "The extension lcd is not allowed."

I can try running the fonts on another computer I have though.

I just tried opening the files on a brand new copy if GLCD Font Creator on a different computer with XP, and it still wouldn't open.

However, I couldn't open any new font I made on that computer either. It seems that no matter what computer I'm on, no save file will open as a font. I simply get a GLCD Font Creator with no fonts.

I could email the fonts to you if that would work. I know it works through gmail at least.
