Right! But some things show as "real" links, like Leave a comment.

Meta... Thanks for your help. I know the "47kb" message wasn't suspicious, I knew it meant the size of the file that would be downloaded, I had just never gotten that when I hovered over the button before. That actually taught me that if I can catch it at that point, it will download!

I went back and tried another font this a.m., one of the ones that pop up on the home page of dafont. (The name was candlescript, koeiekat.) Nothing happened when I hovered over the download button. (The links to do most everything else on the page, choose a category, leave a comment, etc. all seem to work.) I right-clicked on the download button, as you suggested, but got the following choices: back, forward (greyed-out), save as..., print..., translate to english, view page source, view page info, inspect element. That's it. (I do get a "Save link as..." option if I right click on an-apparently-working link, such as leave a comment.) Just to see if is was a terminology issue with Chrome, I clicked on Save as... and it saved a link to the dafont website's homepage on my desktop (that's where I told it to "save as").

I do appreciate your help, and I'm happy I've been able to get the fonts that I need for the project I'm working on. I will continue to follow this topic to see if there is something I can do in the future, but I'm not going to put a whole lot of additional time on this right now. Thanks, again, though, for your help!

Huh. I'll have to check into that, too. Let me know if you learn more!

I'm using Chrome right now, but when I first started having trouble, I switched to Firefox, and had the same problem. I've gotten lucky a couple more times. I'm trying several different fonts, for signs at different tables for a party. Each table has a different theme. Anyway, once in a while, when I hover over the download button, just after the page loads, I get the red line around the box (then it's gone). I click several times as fast as I can and if I get lucky, it will download! Once, I was able to close the tab, reopen dafont, search for the font I wanted, and I got the magic red line long enough to click on it to download. After countless hours, I've gotten 5 out of the 7 I want. Good thing the party isn't until the end of October... ;-)

Well, I wish I could say what worked, but I'm not really sure. I tried to right-click the download button, but I didn't get "Save Target As..." I just got "Save As..." That got me the "seems to be an invalid font" error message. I went back to try again, but just hovering over the download button, it gave me a new message of "47KB" and I thought, hey, that's new! So, I clicked and it downloaded. Still couldn't get it to extract properly, so I searched the forums for "invalid font" and found the suggestion to save it to a random folder on my machine, then copy it to my fonts folder. THAT WORKED! I hope it keeps working! Thanks, metaphasebbrothel.

koeiekat, I know the problem is on my side. I'm looking for ideas on what the problem might be.

Hi! I think I'm having the same trouble. I am using Windows 7. I've tried it on Chrome and Firefox, with the same problem. I click on the download button and nothing happens.
