File Extension Database

Open FONT File

A FONT file is a general file extension that contains font data used by a variety of different programs. The most common is a TrueType Font file, which can be used by Macintosh, Windows, and some Linux operating systems. Besides, Adobe also uses FONT files for the Font Development Kit for Opentype (FDK). In the following sections, we will explore these two major uses, the formats they take and how to open or use them.

TrueType Font Files

TrueType is a font standard developed in the late 1980s by Apple and Microsoft, which has become one of the most common formats for fonts on both Macintosh and Windows operating systems. To open a TrueType FONT file and use the font it contains, you can generally just double-click the file. It should automatically open in your system's font viewer. If you want to install the font, there should be an option in the font viewer to do so. Here is a link to further information on TrueType fonts: Microsoft Typography.

Adobe Font Development Kit for Opentype (FDK) Files

Adobe's Font Development Kit for Opentype (FDK) is a set of tools used by font developers for creating and testing fonts. The FDK uses FONT files to store font data during the creation process. These files are not intended to be installed like a TrueType FONT file. Instead, you would open them in a program that is part of the FDK. Since this is a more specialized use of FONT files, not every user will come across them. Here's where you can find more about Adobe FDK: Adobe for Font Designers.

FONT File Important Information

Although FONT files are generally safe, it's critical to consider where you're downloading them from. Unreliable sources may be a vector for delivering malicious software. Always ensure that your source website is reputable, such as an established font library or the designer's own website. Another important aspect to note is file compatibility. Not all FONT files will work on all systems or with all software. Ensure to check compatibility before downloading. Furthermore, Adobe�s FDK files aren't meant for general font use. They're mainly used by designers and developers as they create and test new fonts.
