Saving and Opening a Workspace
A Workspace is a set of fonts opened in FontLab and information about the
position and size of their font windows.
To save a workspace, use the
button in the Fonts panel toolbar. FontLab
will open a standard File Save dialog box where you can select a name
and path for the workspace file. FontLab workspace files have the
extension “.flw”.
To open a workspace file, use the
button in the Fonts panel toolbar or
simply drag-drop the .flw file onto the FontLab window.
FontLab workspace files are automatically generated macro programs in
the Python scripting language. They are text files that you can edit with any
text editor if you wish. (Recommended only for the knowledgeable and
brave.)
