Dear Friend,


I want to upload TrueType (.TTF) font.

<input type="file" name="font_file"> will not helpful. When I select .TTF file from Browse popup window will not select .TTF font.

Is anybody have any idea how to upload TrueType font with PHP.


Thanking you,


Snowby Dave

wow.. you're right.. windows doesn't let you open the ttf that way... but i'm afraid this is a client-side issue. I don't think PHP can help you here

Dear Friend,


Thanks for your reply. Well I think you did not understand what I means to say.

As you know that window will copies all font files in Windows/fonts folder. With the help of Browse button of input type file element I cannot select that .ttf file.

However if I moved that file to another folder, then it will allow me to upload that file.

So do you have any idea how to handle this?


Thanking you,


Snowby Dave

This is not a PHP issue. I am going to make a general assumption about this as I do not know for sure, but since all of the files in the fonts directory can, potentially, be in use by Windows I imagine that is why it is disallowing you from selecting the file from that directory as it could interfere with OS operation.

Have you tried this in Firefox?

Dear Friend,

Thanks for your reply. Yes I had tried in FireFox. It will directly open ACDsee and display "Font" in big font size with black background.
