What is BEPF file?
The file in the BEPF format belongs to the Font Files category. In addition to this file, the Font Files category includes 109 related files. Adobe Big Endian Prebuilt Format appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. The file will work on Linux systems, unfortunately not on others. The NeXTSTEP application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Next, Inc.. This file type can also be opened by 1 other programs. Solaris will apply when it is not possible to use NeXTSTEP.
How to open BEPF file?
The most common problem when using Adobe Big Endian Prebuilt Format is that a specific BEPF is not associated with the program. This causes the file BEPF to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BEPF 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 NeXTSTEP
The first step is to check if the computer has the NeXTSTEP program installed. This can be achieved by typing NeXTSTEP into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open BEPF files.
Programs to open BEPF file
Remember to download programs supporting BEPF files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of NeXTSTEP with BEPF files
If, despite the installed application, the BEPF file does not start in the NeXTSTEP application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the BEPF file with the NeXTSTEP application.
Step 3. Update NeXTSTEP to the latest version
If, despite the association of the NeXTSTEP program with the Adobe Big Endian Prebuilt Format 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 Next, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BEPF file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to BEPF 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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our BEPF file. Sometimes virus-infected BEPF files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the BEPF files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged BEPF files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted BEPF 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the BEPF file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the BEPF file again. 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.
