How to open $ON file?

The most common problem when using Steinberg Cubase Fonts Compressed is that a specific $ON is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that $ON files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the $ON file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install Cubase

In this case, you should first verify that the Cubase application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Cubase in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file $ON.

Programs to open $ON file

Remember to download programs supporting $ON files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Cubase with $ON files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the $ON file still does not use the Cubase program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Cubase application as the default for handling the $ON file.

Step 3. Update Cubase to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Cubase program, it is possible that Steinberg Cubase Fonts Compressed requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Steinberg Media Technologies GmbH page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the $ON file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

The $ON file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to $ON files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the $ON file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover $ON files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the $ON files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair $ON file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Steinberg Media Technologies GmbH help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file $ON except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the $ON file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the $ON file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
