Hi,  
I was testing custom fonts on the Lerpz Tutorial but I had a problem when I tried to use a custom font in the GUISkin.

This problem appears: The font Assets/GUI/FLUORIDE.TTF could not be imported because it couldn’t be read

I’ve tried with Windows Fonts (Arial, Comic Sans) and another custom fonts but I had the same problem.

Any ideas to resolve this?  
Thx for the help =)

Do you get the same error if you use the same fonts but copied over from another machine? Are the font files you’re using have some sort of permissions setting on them causing these issues? It’s a strange error that I’ve not encountered before so pardon the “I don’t know, let me ask questions” response. 🙂

I solved it!  
The problem was that the font texture was not generated.

The solution is [here](http://forum.unity3d.com/viewtopic.php?t=25988) in P.P.S. section =)

Hi! I had the same issue! I solved it by changing the root project folder name from “Producción” to “Produccion” (Spanish languaje) The problem was caused by the accent mark of the project name! Hope it helps you somehow 😉

Same thing here! I solved it changing one folder named “Programação” to “Programacao” that was in the middle of the path. Not directly the project folder but still affecting. Hope this helps other too!
