Autosave
If you want to protect yourself from system or program crashes you can use
the Autosave function that will periodically save the current font.
To activate and customize this feature, open the Tools > Options
dialog box and select the General page.
In the bottom part of the page, you will see the Autosave controls:
Use the check box to activate Autosave and enter the time interval (in
minutes) at which you want to save the font.
Font will be saved into the Autosave folder (subfolder in the FontLab
directory) and will be named using the following structure:
Fontfilename.save.vfb, where fontfilename is the name of the font file to
which you manually saved the font the last time.
If Autosave was active and you have a system or program crash, you can
open your last saved font from the Autosave directory.
