How to open FNTA file?

The main problem with Aleph One Font Format is that the FNTA file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that FNTA files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FNTA 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 Aleph One

The first step is to check if the computer has the Aleph One program installed. To do this, enter the name Aleph One into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open FNTA files.

Programs to open FNTA file

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

Step 2. Create association of Aleph One with FNTA files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the FNTA file to open in the Aleph One application, but you can set it manually. 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. 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 FNTA file with the Aleph One application.

Step 3. Update Aleph One to the latest version

If, however, after binding Aleph One with Aleph One Font Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Bungie.org website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FNTA 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 FNTA file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the FNTA file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the FNTA file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover FNTA files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of FNTA 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged FNTA files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Bungie Studios, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted FNTA 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the FNTA file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file FNTA to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
