Why cant I open a ttf file, I use to be able to load free fonts and now when I try to open in say PSD it says 'this is not a valid bitmap file'. I hope I have made sense and given enough info?

allez, j'imagine que tu n'as pas pris le temps de lire la FAQ ?

oui si ce n'est pas le cas, alors non, tu n'as pas donné suffisamment d'infos...
truc basique : de quelle(s) police(s) tu parles ?

Yes I did follow the instructions, but I found out that it was a new version of psd I downloaded was the problem.

ce qui se conçoit bien s'énonce clairement et les mots pour le dire arrivent aisément

when you say PSD... :
are you talking about a file (.psd extension) ?
are you talking about a software (photoshop, which is useful to generate .psd files) ?



anyway if you found where the problem was, that's cool
