Re: ttf2lff says FT_New_Face: Unknown Error

Using Windows10 pro 64bit build 19043.1320
I had the same error when trying to transform Franklin Gothic true type to a .lff file.  The first thing I tried was to make sure that the ttf2lff.exe was not being blocked by windows defender by putting it on the approved app list.  That didn't seem to fix the problem.
Then I tried Rallas' example using his font filename "arial.ttf" which worked without a problem.
Next I went to Microsoft website and looked at their actual font names.  It turned out that the typeface I was looking for, Franklin Gothic, was actually "framd.ttf" When I used this filename I did not get an "FT New Face: Unknown Error."
