Files used by FontForge
- ~/.FontForge
-
FontForge creates this directory the first time it starts
up. It contains various files FontForge uses to hold
context across invocations.
- ~/.FontForge/prefs
- This file contains user preference settings.
- ~/.FontForge/groups
- This file contains groups as defined by
Encoding->Define Groups...
- ~/.FontForge/Encodings.ps
- If there are any user defined encodings they reside
in this file.
- ~/.FontForge/autosave
-
This directory contains the files used to drive the
crash-recovery process. When FontForge is running there
will be one file in this directory corresponding to
each font loaded into FontForge that has been modified.
These files will contain all changed glyphs.
When FontForge exits normally, this directory will
be cleaned up and there should be no files in it.
- ~/.FontForge/python
- This directory contains any python init scripts you
want to run when FontForge starts
- ~/.PfaEdit
- Before Oct 2007 the .PfaEdit subdirectory was used
instead of .FontForge. After Oct 2007 if FontForge finds a
.PfaEdit directory (and no .FontForge directory) it will
rename .PfaEdit to be .FontForge.
