How to open DFONT file?
An often recurring problem with Mac OS X Data Fork Font is that DFONT is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file DFONT 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 DFONT 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 DfontSplitter
In this case, you should first verify that the DfontSplitter application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name DfontSplitter in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file DFONT with DfontSplitter.

Programs to open DFONT file
Remember to download programs supporting DFONT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of DfontSplitter with DFONT files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the DFONT file to open in the DfontSplitter application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the DFONT file with the DfontSplitter application.
Step 3. Update DfontSplitter to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the DfontSplitter program, it is possible that Mac OS X Data Fork Font requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DFONT 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 DFONT files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our DFONT file. However, remember that not every infected DFONT file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the DFONT file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular DFONT file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted DFONT files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. It is best to move DFONT to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file DFONT to close. However, some background programs may block the DFONT file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
