I wonder if it got damaged in email. I didn't have any trouble opening it with ftview. I put a copy up on my web site - maybe that will work better:
http://www.glyphandcog.com/tmp/t1.cff The font was embedded in a PDF file I received from a customer. They reported a problem viewing the PDF in Xpdf (glyphs too large), and I was able to track it down to the FreeType autohinter. I unfortunately don't have any other versions of the font, or even any info on where the font came from. - Derek On 2014 Jan 23, Eben Sorkin wrote: > I cannot open this file. > > Do you have a TTF or OTF perhaps one that has and has not not been hinted yet? > > -e. > > On Jan 23, 2014, at 8:08 PM, Derek B.
