FontCreator supports several file formats to store fonts. Some formats are useful if you want to share your fonts with other people who use different font tools.
These font formats are supported by FontCreator:
Our own FontCreator Project font file format is able to store all font data that FontCreator supports, so in general it is best to use that as your main source. From there, you can export fonts for use on desktop or web, as well as to interchangeable font project resources. This will make sure that regardless of the font format you export, all information about the font will remain available.
Note: a project saved by this version of FontCreator stores the alignment metrics and cannot be opened by earlier versions. Projects from earlier versions open as before.
