What is an FNT file?

FNT files mostly belong to Windows by Microsoft. FNT is an obsolete font format that was mainly used by Windows and embedded systems. An FNT font is usually saved as a bitmap but it may also be saved as a vector graphic. Most fonts saved in this format are distributed as portable executables. The file signature of fonts saved in FNT files may differ based on the program used to create them. FNT files have been replaced by OpenType OTF and TrueType TTF fonts. Video games such as Natural Selection 2, M.U.G.E.N, and Persona 4 also use fonts saved in FNT format.

How to open an FNT file

Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert.
