Open TTF files in Sandboxie, returns that this is not a valid font file.

Test on 3.41.02.

Same here, but can't say if it's a bug or whatever.

Windows 7 Ultimate, SBIE 3.41.02

To open TTF files (True Type Font files) in a sandbox, I suppose.

There are many TTFs in your C:\Windows\Fonts.

BTW, I'm XP SP3.

Is so difficult to describe the exact actions to do?

Like:

1) Open Windows Explorer sandboxed.

2) Go to Windows folder and then to Fonts folder.

3) Double click a TTF file.

I run a sandboxed Windows Explorer and click on a font in C:\WINDOWS\FONTS.
The font viewer opens fine for me.

tzuk: I gave an example of how to give a description to reproduce a bug.

I donīt know if those are the right steps to reproduce the bug in this case.

As coder I understand perfectly how you feel when someone comes to the forum and says "Sandboxie doesnīt work with X program" but he doesnīt give any clue about how to reproduce the bug.

After copying a file out of c:\Windows\Fonts\ to a folder of your choice (e:\temp) right click on the destination
file (in an unsandboxed file manager) and select "Run sandboxed". A message with "no valid font file" appears.

Sorry for my poor express.

When double click on a TTF file (maybe no problems with C:\Windows\Fonts path as above said),
Explorer will popup a msgbox told you the file is not valid font.

eg. You can copy a TTF outside system Fonts path, such as D:\,
and double click on it,
you will recieve the error.

I've not tried in system Fonts path.
Because my program which running in Sandboxie, its' folder contains a TTF file.
I commonly opened it, and found the problem.
So report it to forum.
Sorry for not thinking over more.

It seems not to be consistent - sometimes it gives the error, sometimes not .......
