Unable to unzip fonts

I have a strange problem. I got my computer a few months, and since I bought it, I could not decompress the fonts and place them in the fonts folder. I open the zipped folder, press "Extract all files" and go put it in the folder fonts, etc. and I said show me the files later... it opens the folder of fonts as if she extracted from them but they are nowhere to be seen. I can't also drag and drop the font files in the folder either. Nothing happens.

The only work around I can do is extract the file compressed directly on the desktop, and then drag and drop the Fonts folder. It is a solution, but I would at least know why I am unable to extract the files normally. Thanks in advance!

It has been changed in the new security model built originally for Windows 6.0 (Windows Vista).  The reason is that the two places have different security contexts.

In Windows XP, if you were an administrator-level user, anyone or any program could send new files in system folders. That means you could easily drag - move an icon of fonts in the file (or even the Windows folder), but it also means that any Web site could do it too, you know - which means that you get viruses very easily because there is no security.

In Windows Vista, administrators receive the same protections as standard users. So even if you are an administrator, you will be blocked from edit system files, until you elevate your privileges with a consent dialog box.  If a Web page or a program wrong, tried to do without your knowledge, it would lift the consent dialog box (UAC) and you get a chance to dismiss the action.

Technically if you run ZIP Viewer in a high process, you can do drag the fonts directly in the folder it.  But it's bad for security also.

So yes, the easiest way is really to extract the files anywhere that is not protected (like your desktop) and then drag in the protected system folder.

  • Unable to change font size LabelField

    Regardless of the font size I put, it seems no effect and the font size does not change! I can change color but not the police. What's not in the code below?

    public class FMHorizSingleCont extends HorizontalFieldManager {}

    private LabelField lbDesc;

    public FMHorizSingleCont () {}

    lbDesc = new LabelField (title, LabelField.USE_ALL_WIDTH) {}

    Do police = Font.getDefault () .derive (Font.PLAIN, 6,Ui.) UNITS_pt);

    protected void paint (Graphics g) {do police = Font.getDefault ().derive(Font.PLAIN,6,Ui.UNITS_pt);}

    g.setFont (do);

    g.setColor (Color.BLACK);

    Invalidate();

    Super.paint (g);

    }

    };

    Add (lbDesc);

    Set the font under the method object.

    As:

    lbDesc = new LabelField(title, LabelField.USE_ALL_WIDTH)
    {
        protected void paint(Graphics g)
        {
           //Font font = Font.getDefault().derive(Font.PLAIN,6,Ui.UNITS_pt);
           //g.setFont(font);
           g.setColor(Color.BLACK);
           invalidate();
           super.paint(g);
        }
    };
    Font font = Font.getDefault().derive(Font.PLAIN,6,Ui.UNITS_pt);
    lbDesc.setFont(font);

  • After update 12.1 - Unable to load fonts "^ 0" "Helvetica Neue" error

    I've just updated after effects CC 12.1, and I now get the following error during the launch:

    After effects WARNING: failed to load fonts "^ 0" "Neue Helvetica".

    After pressing OK, I get another error:

    Cannot load fonts required for the After Effects interface. Please replace fonts or reinstall After Effects.

    And then a final error:

    After that the effects can't continue: unexpected failure during the application startup

    I'm on Mac OS 10.9 and it worked very well with the 12.0.1 patch. I checked that Helvetica Neue is installed and all other CC applications work fine. Any ideas?

    The after effects CC (12,2) update solves this problem.

    Let us know how it works for you after installing the update.

  • Error code 40 unable to unzip file with MS self extractor

    Try to use self extractor to run the fix, but get the 40 error code

    Hello

    1. what patch you are trying to install?
    2. What is the number\article of the fix knowledge base?

    You may have a corrupt hotfix package or may have downloaded the wrong fix for your operating system platform. You must make sure that the hotfix you download is X 64 (64 bit) and not a 32-bit (X 86) as you're running vista 64-bit operating system.

    Please see if you can copy the file downloaded to another computer and try to unpack.  Or try to download another package and see if you can decompress this file.

  • No enumerated association cannot unzip files Windows 7

    I got a file compressed in my email, and even if I managed to download documents in my C drive, I'm unable to unzip them.  When I looked at the default programs, it displays "unknown application" and nothing I tried to apply is accepted by Windows 7.  I have Internet Explorer 11, and by trying to open the file compressed using IE, it says settings won't allow IE to be used to open the zipped files.  I am at my wit's end and need help badly!

  • Police question - CF8 ImageDrawText()

    Hello

    ImageDrawText() in the CF8 server returns error - "cannot find fonts: Serif ' and display the list of fonts that can be used, but the police I want to use not in this list. The font is installed and mapped with the cfadmin.
    The same police work perfectly on my machine of developer cf9 with ImageDrawText(). Have you encountered this situation before or have clues how to get around this problem? Suspicion appreciated.

    Thank you very much
    Sam

    I read on this topic before. One of the suggestions was to add the font to the fonts of your jre directory.
