The UFM file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the UFM files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the UFM file on each system platform.
What is UFM file?
The file with the extension UFM is the Video Files file type. Additionally, the Video Files category contains 546 of other files. Unicode TrueType Font Format is most often found on 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. The main program that supports this format is MakeFont Utility. This was created by SourceForge.net.
How to open UFM file?
The main problem with Unicode TrueType Font Format is that the UFM file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file UFM to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the UFM 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 MakeFont Utility
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that MakeFont Utility is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name MakeFont Utility into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file UFM.
Programs to open UFM file
Remember to download programs supporting UFM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of MakeFont Utility with UFM files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the UFM file still does not use the MakeFont Utility 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. 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 UFM file with the MakeFont Utility application.
Step 3. Update MakeFont Utility to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the MakeFont Utility program, it is possible that Unicode TrueType Font Format requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the SourceForge.net page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the UFM file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The UFM file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the UFM file contents when downloading or copying. 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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file UFM or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected UFM files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the UFM file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair UFM file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file UFM except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
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 UFM file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the UFM file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
