Folks, When I attempt tp embed fonts on a disk based web, for each font that WEFT attempts to process I get "Unknown error occured while processing true type fonts" the dialog box asks if I want to continue, and if  I say yes it goes on to each font in the list and repeats the same message....does not create ANY eot files....any suggestions. I have been over the problem with a fine tooth comb but found nothing yet....

Be sure to use the latest WEFT version 3 - this kind of problem was common with WEFT 2.

That's quite a common configuration.  Assuming these aren't really unusual fonts and that the error occurs if you specify Arial.

 

Might be worth uninstalling WEFT, removing the fonts database (under control panel - data sources) and try installing the full WEFT package - recreating the font database.

Si,

Just to let you know I found the problem.....It had something to do with one or more of the installed fonts, not sure which one(s) yet. I removed all the fonts except thos that come with Windows ME and the problem went away.....guess I will sort through the ones I removed as time allows....on to the next problem (right?)....

If you manage to locate a font that's making WEFT trip up please let us know.

 

Cheers, Si
