How to open FFIL file?
The most common problem when using Mac Font Suitcase is that a specific FFIL is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that FFIL files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FFIL 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 Apple Font Book
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Apple Font Book is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Apple Font Book in it.

Programs to open FFIL file
Remember to download programs supporting FFIL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Apple Font Book with FFIL files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the FFIL file still does not use the Apple Font Book program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the FFIL file with the Apple Font Book program.
Step 3. Update Apple Font Book to the latest version
If, however, after binding Apple Font Book with Mac Font Suitcase there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FFIL file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The FFIL file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the FFIL file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the FFIL file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover FFIL files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of FFIL file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged FFIL files.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted FFIL files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the FFIL file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the FFIL file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the FFIL file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
