Hi,

I downloaded a font called Barnacle yesterday,and tried to install it,but an error came up that said "The requested file (BARNACLE.ttf) is not a valid font file".

This has happened to me before with a few other fonts I downloaded that didn't work with Windows XP computers (what I have).But I found these fonts on another font site "regenerated",and made to work with XP.

I have another computer which I successfully installed the Barnacle font into,but it is a Windows ME,so I know that the BarnacIe font file I downloaded from Abstract Fonts does work,just not with my XP.

I have looked EVERYWHERE,on every font site I came across,and downloaded the Barnacle font ZIPs and TTFs from every one,but come installation time they all say the same thing (The requested file (BARNACLE.ttf) is not a valid font file).

I REALLY want this font,so I'm asking if anyone knows how to get a Barnacle font (the same font shown on this page,Abstract Fonts) that installs and works with a Windows XP system!Please,if anyone reading this knows how,let me know!Thanks so much!

That is because in the metrics data the copyright, trademark and the unique font identifier are missing. For XP the last one seems to be needed. I'll upload a corrected version including the unique font identifier as BARNACLE-2.ttf. I have not bothered about copyright and trademark as they are unknown (to me) anyway.

Delete your existing BARNACLE, rename BARNACLE-2 to BARNACLE and Bob's your uncle.

So that did not work. But be patient, it will.

In the mean time I have put it here.
