Tested the file, downloaded in half a sec, no corrupted datas...
It can be a problem with your ISP or you browser. Can you please give us more technical informations (ISP, OS, browser, plugins, Proxy, ...)

no problem for me with this font, i just downloaded it
maybe you have some firewall, some browser plugins, or some other blocking stuff on your computer.
all download links on dafont are based on the same model : if one link works, it means all links should work.

Try using firefox if you're on explorer, try using explorer if you're on firefox

In a small number of cases, the file on dafont IS corrupted in some way. I tried several times to download the font Bobneverdies!, (the Bob marley dingbat font), but it was always corrupted. I told Rodolphe about it, and he was able to fix the problem quickly.

I am also having issues with dowloading fonts. Before today everything was fine but now when i download the file
it is an adobe extension. it used to be just the true type or a folder you could open then extract but now they are ALL
corrupted. Any one with simular problems or solutions?

About half the dingbats that I try to download comes back with the message of The File Failed to Download. I am working on a Mac with OS 10.6.2.

I have Windows 8 and my web browser is Chrome. My issue is any font that i try to download, nothing happens. the download doesn't work at all. Please help and thank you.

When one person is having problems opening a .zip file, but other people are not, the problem is usually with the extraction program, not with the .zip file. See my April 22, 2010 post, (#4 above), I had the same version of Winrar installed for several years. It failed to open some, but not all .zip files downloaded from DaFont. When I installed a newer version of Winrar, I was able to open the .zip files that wouldn't open properly with the old version of Winrar.

@ dkirk6: Click the FAQ link near the top of this Window. Then click the topic for How to install a font under Windows?. Then read the instructions for Windows 8/7/Vista. If that doesn't work, you probably didn't extract the fonts from the .zip file before trying to install them.

How do you try to download a font ?

I can't download anything !!!! It keeps saying "microsoft office cannot open this file because some parts are missing or invalid" HELP ME


Feb 18, 2015 at 08:21

Maybe in your dictionary download equals to install?


Feb 18, 2015 at 13:36

Say CLEARLY AND WITH MAXIMUM DETAILS how do you process to try to download a font.

So I see a lot of complaints and no resolve. I made a post about a few months back, and tried all suggestions and nothing worked. The last response was 'Oh he must be using Firefox'. Okay so what needs to be changed to be able to download fonts using Firefox? What needs to be set to stop the 'time out' issue? I have used this site for years, and now as the folks above dafont.com seems to be the only, and I mean only site I cannot download from.
