Adobe Type Manager problem with Windows 7 and DIN font file extension not showing

[vieletted66983309]

I have Windows 7 and for some reason I cannot install Adobe Type Manager onto my Computer.

I need ATM to install the DIN font but am having no luck what so ever.

I can see the DIN font in my Dropbox but it is showing up like this:-  ._DIN-bold, no file file extension. what am I doing wrong? is it Mac?

Adobe Type Manager absolutely cannot be installed on Windows 7. In fact, even attempting to install it may corrupt your operating system installation and its ability to properly render Type 1 and OpenType CFF fonts. The last version of Windows for which ATM was at all compatible was Windows XP, 32-bit only!

Adobe Type Manager is not at all necessary to install fonts, even Type 1 fonts, on Windows 7 systems. Right click on the font file for TrueType of OpenType CFF fonts or the .PFM file for Type 1 fonts and select the Install option.

The font file you are trying to install is for MacOS. It cannot be installed on Windows.
