Troubleshooting Problems Opening F6 Files
Typical F6 Opening Challenges
macOS Isn't There
When trying to open your F6 file, you get the error "Can't Open F6 File Type". Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because macOS isn't installed on your PC. The typical path of opening your F6 with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.
Tip: If you have another software that you know opens F6 files, you can select it by hitting the "Show Apps" button.
macOS Requires Update
Your Fonts File file is incompatible with macOS because you might have the wrong version installed. Visit the Apple website to download (or purchase) the latest version of macOS. This problem is predominately due to having a Fonts File file version that was created by a newer version of macOS than what you have installed on your PC.
Tip: Sometimes you can get a clue about the version of F6 file you have by right clicking on the file, then clicking on "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac OSX).
Summary: Not having the right macOS version on your computer can cause problems opening F6 files.
Other F6 File Opening Causes
Errors opening Fonts File files can still occur even with the latest macOS software installed on your computer. There can be external issues inside of %%os%% that are causing these errors when opening F6s. Issues that aren't software-related:
- File references in the Windows Registry for F6 are wrong
- Accidental deletion of the description of the F6 file in the Windows registry
- Defective install of a F6 program, such as macOS
- Something has caused file corruption of your F6
- The F6 is infected with a virus
- Drivers associated with F6 software need to be updated
- Too many applications are open on your PC to load your Fonts File file successfully
