  • Font Properties Extension for 64-bit Windows Vista/7/8

    Thanks, this solution works for me...except it doesn't work on installed fonts, just fonts outside of the fonts folder. That is, if I'm in C:\Windows\fonts and right click on a font I don't get the WOW64 (32-bit) Menu.
    Any solution to that issue?

    I am using TTFExtNT.dll to view font properties. For some (not all)
    installed fonts, I noticed that properties could not be viewed. On
    further investigation, those were fonts that involve more than a single
    file (e.g., a file for each of Roman, Italic, Roman bold, and Italic
    bold). For those, I open what appeared to be a font file and instead
    found it was a folder (or pseudofolder) containing separate files for
    each style. On those files, I could indeed view the font properties.

    Donald Trump says he will create many jobs if he
    is elected President. To find out about Trump's
    ability to create jobs, ask those who are now
    unemployed because Trump's Atlantic city hotel
    and casino went bankrupt.

    Copy the font file to other folder... :-)
    But, iirc, the 64-bit FPE didn't work in the font folder (?)

    It's a shame that this awesome utility doesn't have been updated
