Step 2. Create association of Fontographer with ACA2 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the ACA2 file still does not use the Fontographer program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the ACA2 file with the Fontographer application.
Step 3. Update Fontographer to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Fontographer program with the Fontographer file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the FontLab Ltd. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ACA2 file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the ACA2 file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the ACA2 file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover ACA2 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of ACA2 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged ACA2 files. You can restore the file from a backup or use FontLab Ltd. help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ACA2 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the ACA2 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the ACA2 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file ACA2 to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ACA2 file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
