Fontographer will not install.

[Mike the monk]

I cannot install Fontographer. When I click SetUp I receive the following
message: 'The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft
Windows applications. Chose 'Close'.....' Any ideas?

[Andreas Höfeld]

Also sprach/Thus spake Mike the monk:

Any information? What OS do you use in your monastery?
What version of FOG did you try to install?
(My crystal ball is currently in repair.)

I have no problems in accessing the knowledge base article. Did You really
enter the >>full<< link? Maybe You just clicked the link in my previous
posting. Some newsreaders do not mark the full link given by me as a link
but only part of it. For expample my newsreader shows only the part until
the first semicolon as a link (and uses only this, if clicked) and cuts of
the ";en-us;324767"...

I get the 16 bit error as outlined in the other posts in this thread. I
installed it on a Win 2003 server.... no problems, then just did my work on a
remote window... I hadn't had need for a new font in a couple of years....
I've created the font I need... so I'm done... btw... I needed a dotted line
font for my children to learn to write... you know the kind... teaching em the
letters

Bob,

Sorry tech note 15709 is the only solution.

Greetings Everyone,

I could not get Fontographer to run on my system (XP 1G memory). Tried
installing in safe, didn't help. Kept complaining that there was not enough
memory to run. Came across a program called Resplendent Resolver at
http://www.resplendence.com/resolver. It's been discontinued as un-needed,
so it's free. It works by lying to the problem programs about computer. As
soon as I told Fontographer I only had 200MB virtual memory the problems
went away. Works great now (so far).

Hope this helps.

Take care,

AP
