COMPOSITEFONT File Complications

Frequent COMPOSITEFONT Opening Issues

Microsoft XML Notepad Isn't There

Double-clicking your COMPOSITEFONT file prompts the message "%%os%% Can't Open COMPOSITEFONT File". Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because Microsoft XML Notepad isn't installed on your PC. Because your operating system doesn't know what to do with this file, you won't be able to open it by double-clicking.

Tip: If you know of another program that can open your COMPOSITEFONT file, you can try opening it by selecting the application from the programs listed.

Incorrect Microsoft XML Notepad Version

It is possible that your version of Microsoft XML Notepad isn't able to open your Windows Composite Font File file due to incompatibility. You will need to download a newer version of Microsoft XML Notepad if you don't have the right version. Most of the time your Windows Composite Font File file was created by a newer Microsoft XML Notepad than what you have installed.

Tip: Sometimes you can get a clue about the version of COMPOSITEFONT file you have by right clicking on the file, then clicking on "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac OSX).

Summary: In either case, the majority of problems opening COMPOSITEFONT files are related to not having the correct software application installed on your computer.
