Just got some fonts from a client they want to use on a project but they seem compressed in a .toast file. I have no idea what it is or how to open it. I'm on a PC..anybody help me out?

toast is a cd burning program for mac. they've probably sent you the toast file rather than the actual files...

Hahaha..now...just plain toast...
- TheBlueOne0
paraselene what can I do with this thing? anything?

i don't think so. you need to ring them up and explain that they need to archive from option-click on the folder they want to send you, rather than send you the files they've put through the toaster.

Looks like your in jam with that .toast file.
That's like them sending you an ISO file, I think its only good to make a CD on a mac. You need the contents. Tell them to zip/stuffit that file and send that.

Great. these guys are clueless..this will be fun..

some PC CD burning apps can burn a toast file. it's basically an ISO file, so something like nero or CD creator can often deal with it

So if I just burn the toast file to a cd somehow, then the data inside will magically appear or something?
- acescence0
yes
- TheBlueOne0
I like magic.

that's only IF it's an ISO volume, if it's HFS, well then, you're just screwed
- TheBlueOne0
It's not an ISO volume......

you might be able to use a CD/DVD drive emulator and see the contents. That way you don't need to burn an actual disk. But for it to read a .toast file might be stretching it... so this post is just useless =( sorry. try nero

any luck, blueone?

With all your jam, toast and .cinflav files you just need a good old fashioned drink... Try Alcohol %120
This is to prove alcohol solves all life's problems.

OSX disk utility will open a .toast file if you can get it on a mac.
it'll mount the toast volume as a disk and you can copy the files off like any disk.
* but really.. is this from a "client"?
.toast is a pretty common format for sharing pirated mac software, or perhaps a CD font volume. would be ridiculous to save a few fonts as a .toast file.
