File extension .FON

File description

FON files are part of the font library and consist of information for fonts. FON is a container format that contains one or more basic fonts. FON file is an executable file that consists of one or more font resources but no code or data. These FON files are little bit out-of-date font files and due to they are not able to be resized and they are likely to be displayed differently when printed.

FON files correspond to the 16-bit and 32-bit formats for executable files and that is the reason they come in NE and PE versions.

Description of the problem

If you have on your computer a .FON file that you cannot open, you are in exactly the same situation as thousands of other people who have similar problems with this or any other unknown file.

There may be several reasons why you cannot open the file with .FON extension. Directly on this website you can find a solution of the most common problem with the .FON file – that you do not have on your computer the appropriate program to open the file.

Solution

From the list below, select the appropriate program, install it and double click on the icon of a file that did not want to open - the problem with the .FON file extension should be solved. However, if this does not happen, go back to the website to learn about other possible causes of the error, which have been described at the bottom of the website.

Other possible reasons why your .FON file does not want to open

In addition to the problem described above, i.e. the lack of the appropriate application to support the .FON file, there may be several reasons that cause problems with opening and operation of the data format:

1. Incorrect version of the installed application

A quite common problem is the lack of application in the appropriate version. Even if you have an application, with the help of which you should open the .FON file, you may have a problem with it because of its version. Perhaps in previous versions the application has not yet supported the .FON file, so download the update and check again.

2. Incorrect .FON file association with the program

If you have already installed the appropriate application, and it is the correct version, the file may not open correctly, because the operating system does not have information that this program supports the file. So you need to "show" which program the computer should use. To do this:

Right-click the .FON file
Go to the "Open with" - then "Choose default program ..."
Locate the appropriate application
Click "OK"

3. The file is corrupt

It also happens that the file you want to open is corrupt and therefore there is no such possibility. In this situation, you should find its different version, or ask a person from whom you got, to send it again.
