FontCreator uses several extra data files to read settings and other program specific information. These should not be edited directly, but copied to the windows user data folder. This can be easily done through the Options dialog on the Advanced tab.
Unicode/Blocks.txt |
Standard Unicode database file containing the Unicode blocks |
Unicode/UnicodeData.txt |
Standard Unicode database file containing all the Unicode glyph information |
ArabicShaping.txt |
Standard Unicode database file containing information about Arabic shaping |
Unicode/Scripts.txt |
Standard Unicode database file containing the Unicode scripts |
glyphlist.dat |
The Adobe glyph list |
tags.txt |
Controls the names of the five tags that can be assigned to each glyph |
vendor.dat |
Contains the list of vendors |
preview.txt |
Contains the standard preview texts for the Preview panel |
glyphnamesnew.dat |
Contains overrides of the default friendly glyph names, as used when opening existing fonts and when you generate glyph names on the Glyph Properties dialog |
Transform folder |
Contains all transform scripts that can be used with the Glyph Transformer |
WOFFTest |
Contains the files used for testing your fonts in your web browser |
GlyphSets folder |
Contains the glyph sets shown in the categories panel; its ReadMe.txt describes the file format |
Note: FontCreator only reads these files at startup. This means that after you have changed any of the files, you must restart FontCreator for the changes to take effect.
