Fonts will NO LONGER preview in Preview Pane
Hello,
I've screwed something up in my Windows 7, 64 Bit Version, and hope someone here can help me.
Previously I could preview .ttf Font files in the Preview Pane of Windows Explorer just by clicking on them. I could also see what the font would look like on the actual Font Icon.
However I discovered I COULD NOT view an .otf Font file so I decided to look around and find out how to get the .otf files to also preview, this is when I got into trouble.
I changed both of the file associations (.ttf and .otf) to be viewed by the Windows Font Viewer and now I can't preview any fonts. I get a generic message that they are not valid font files but they are.
Also now all the Font Icons are a blue "A" with a little magnifying glass on it instead of the previous one that looked like the actual font.
I tried reversing what I did but even though Windows 7 is still showing Font Expert as a suggested program to use, it won't let me check the little box to ALWAYS use that program.
I don't know if the previous Font Icons in Windows Explorer were due to Font Expert or if that was just something Windows Explorer showed.
I'd love to have my PREVIEW PANE back in the font display as it showed what the font would look like larger.
If someone can help me I'd be most appreciative.
Thanks so much.
Jenn
