Not a valid font
Not a valid font
I've been working on a font for four hours and have been saving as I make changes. Then... my computer crashed. I thought maybe I would've lost the changes I made to the last glyph I was working on, but when I go to reopen the project, I get the message "Project does not contain a valid font". I'm assuming I somehow lost everything, but I am posting here to see if anyone has run into this or has a magic fix for this.

Re: Not a valid font
If you can share the font project file with the *.fcp we can take a look at it.
Which version of FontCreator are you using? Is it registered?

I'm using 11.5 and it is registered. Here is the file.

Unfortunately, the file is corrupt and there is nothing there to recover. Just a load of NUL bytes.

Re: Not a valid font
There is a setting in Options, Advanced to save a backup file when saving projects. Look in the folder for any file with a *.bck extension and rename it to newfont.fcp and try to open it.
