I think I’ve finally found a solution to this annoying error message that Windows gives when you use DfontSplitter to convert some fonts and then try and use those converted fonts in Windows. It involves using a third-party open source application called FontForge to convert the TTFs that DfontSplitter gives you from a Mac-specific TTF format into ‘regular’ TTF format.

DfontSplitter on Mac OS X is built around the command line tool Fondu. As such, Fondu sometimes has issues splitting certain fonts and can sometimes produce TTFs which will not be recognised when moved over to a Microsoft Windows system. At the moment, I am not aware of a specific fix to tweak the TTFs so that Windows can read them, other than to use a commercial package (which somewhat defeats the object of DfontSplitter). Please see this comment on my blog for more details.

Due to the way DfontSplitter on Mac OS X is built, any errors reported by fondu will be displayed in a dialogue box.
