Font Forum

I am using Main Type 4.5 and Windows 10. After refreshing my font folder and bringing some fonts into Main Type, I want to move the font on my hard drive to a different location. I get a message in windows that says "can not move font because a folder or a file in it is open in another program." I have closed all other programs, and I have done multiple reboots but I still get the message. I don't know if this is a Main Type issue or a Windows issue but in all the years I have never had a problem moving fonts after they are in Main Type. Any suggestions?

Is it a specific font?

There are two
Open Sans and News Cycle

Did they come with some software you installed, or did you manually install them?

I downloaded them from the internet. I had Main Type refresh the folder. Then I had Main Type install them. I've only used the fonts in Photoshop and Photoshop Elements.

I don't think this was a Main Type issue. I did a lot of research on the web and tried many different suggestions. Nothing worked, even trying a program called Unlocker. In desperation I remembered a program I bought years ago called Revo Uninstaller. I was able to locate the original installation file and yeah it worked. Thanks for your help. At least my new download folder is cleaned up for now.

Good to know it is not a MainType issue, and great that you've managed to solve the problem.
