[FIXED] Can't open font - "Wrong DICT byte 1"
This font installs without problems via MainType 6.0 Pro, and also via Win10 native installer. It works correctly (although the design is in the early stages).
Unfortunately, I can't develop it further in FontCreator 9.1 Pro because it won't load, either from disk or while installed. The error message is "Wrong DICT byte 1."
I would love to be able to work on this font, so please let me know if there's any way to get around this load error.
Thanks in advance,
Allen

I am sure that Erwin will need the font to see what the issue is.

Re: Can't open font - "Wrong DICT byte 1"
I am having the same issue. I checked to see if the version I am using has an update however it only shows the paid upgrade to version 10. Is it possible to resolve the issue without paying the upgrade fee? Thanks
