So unfortunately I fell victim to this and now my files are locked. Is there any way of unlocking without having to pay money to the scammers?

You should not even think about paying the ransom! This activity may not end up as good as hackers might promise. Cyber criminals may not provide you working decryptor or may not provide it all. After receiving your money, they might simply disappear. What is more, you might be asked to transfer even more Bitcoins in order to rescue your files. Thus, this data recovery method is not recommended! Currently, the only safe way to restore encrypted files is to use backups. If you have them, you need to remove “The HoeflerText font wasn’t found” virus from the computer, plug in an external storage device and copy necessary documents. Otherwise, chances to restore your files are low. However, if virus failed to delete Shadow Volume Copies of the targeted files, you can employ ShadowExplorer too. Also, you might try Data Recovery Pro program that might be also helpful in recovery. However, we cannot assure that these programs will definitely restore all encrypted files. Though, we believe you should try all safe options. Lastly, if System Restore function has been enabled on your computer before malware attack, you can use Windows Previous Versions feature and travel back in computer's time. Thus, you will be able to copy previously saved versions of the encrypted files.
