Most of the font-modification operations are not undoable, so we
recommend you save your work regularly.
To save a font that you have opened from an existing font file (in
FontLab or other format), use the File > Save command or click on the
Save
button on the Standard toolbar.
To save all opened fonts click the File > Save all command or this
button on the Standard toolbar:
.
Font(s) will be saved in FontLab format (VFB extension) to the directory
where the original font was opened. If this option in the General page of
the Options dialog box is active:
FontLab will create a backup copy of the existing font file before
overwriting it with the new one.
If you are working with a new font or you want to select the
destination directory or change the name of the file, use the File > Save
As... command.
Please note that you cannot save fonts with more than 6,400 glyphs. If you
try to save a bigger font you will see a warning message that will
recommend splitting a font into smaller parts.
If you want to work with bigger fonts consider using our AsiaFont Studio
product. More information about it is available at this page:
