It sounds like the font is already installed on the computer where you are seeing this error. You might try going to the &lt;system&gt;/fonts/ folder and see if the font file is present there. <br />

I have checked it and it is not present.

And what about elsewhere on the machine? While the primary place where fonts are located is the Windows Font folder, they can be located elsewhere. Adobe products in particular will install fonts in their own locations when the product is installed. Does Eurostile show as a font that can be used when in any programs?

Otherwise, try simply renaming the .TTF file and see if you can install it that way.

In regards to other programs, I haven't checked them yet. I've got a Photoshop and Acrobat. However I haven't used them, because wanted to install the font first. <br />

Well, launch Photoshop and see if the font you are trying to install shows in the font list.

OK, have you tried installing while in SAFE mode? Reboot into safe mode and give it a go.

one of the users purchased a font online. Unpacked with Winrar. Then when tried to install it the error windows pops up saying &quot;The Eurostile.ttf is currently being used and cannot be replaced. Wait until Windows is finished using the file, and then try again.&quot; I am able to open it, view it and import on another machine with XP on board. <br />

Error while importing new font

A font is a particular size, weight and style of a typeface. Each font is a matched set of type, one piece (called a "sort") for each glyph, and a typeface consists of a range of fonts that share an overall design. With the advent of digital typography, font is frequently synonymous with typeface, although the two terms do not necessarily mean the same thing. In particular, the use of "vector" or "outline" fonts means that different sizes of a typeface can be dynamically generated from one design. Each style may still be in a separate "font file" -- for instance, the typeface "Futura" may include the fonts "Futura roman", "Futura italic", "Futura bold" and "Futura extended" —- but the term "font" might be applied either to one of these alone or to the whole typeface.
