Re: what is error -7000 when activating fonts?

Everything I know about fonts could be stored in less than 7 bits but the files had a ttf extension and someone on this list pointed out that Xcode will strip the resource forks on fonts. I learned on my own that PackageMaker could do the same (or seems to) and the thing that worked for me was saving them in a font suitcase with the resources written to the data fork (using TypeTool 2).
I'm just hoping this might save some other poor soul some hassle if they are trying to include fonts in their application.


The -7000 error code on activation still seems strange.

Thanks to those who contributed.

There are definitely TrueType fonts which exist in the resource fork. (Almost all pre-OS X TrueType fonts.)
They aren't valid TTF files but they are valid TrueType fonts.

That doesn't make any sense - TTF isn't a resource format; most of my TTFs don't have resource forks at all. Are you sure that's actually a TTF and not an old-style Mac font (NFNT)?
