The .FMP file extension is associated with a AutoCAD Font Map File, a font map file format developed by Autodesk. This format is used by AutoCAD applications to store custom font related information. An .FMP font map file essentially contains a customized set of font mappings for use by the program upon start up. It basically associates a particular font with a particular AutoCAD plot style table. The file is in a text based format, containing a simple key and value pair with the font name as its key, and font-related information in the value portion of each row.
Format Details:
An .FMP file is a simple text-based file, similar to an .INI, .WRI, or other ASCII-based alphabetical list. The format of the file is straightforward and easily understandable. It basically consists of two lines of data that are separated by one or more tabs. The first line contains the name of the font that should be mapped. The second line has the font –related data (the graphics indicator and free form drawing indicator). Every two lines can represent the definition of one particular font.
The .FMP file is an unusual yet important part of the AutoCAD software configuration. Other files similar to it include .CTF, .PFB, .PFM, and .SHX. These files all have specialized purposes and are essential to the setup and operation of AutoCAD.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .FMP) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .FMP extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .FMP file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .FMP extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .FMP extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .FMP file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .FMP file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .FMP file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .FMP file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .FMP file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
