We are aware that people use the export feature numerous times. If in the mean time a font file is in use by another process, the font export will fail as it can’t overwrite a locked file.
When you save a file from a web browser, it will append (1) to the file name to overcome this problem. E.g.
Garava.ttf (is locked)
Garava(1).ttf (is locked)
Garava(2).ttf
Would that work for FontCreator?
Hi Erwin,
For myself, no. I’ve never experienced the issue out of FC. But if I did I would want to correct the issue then export.
If you do add such a capability, please make it a preference.
Thank you.
I export my fonts to a folder that is not tracked by MainType and copy them from there to a folder that is before installing them. I then delete the temporary versions after making a backup of the exported fonts.
After fixing any bugs in the new fonts, I uninstall them and repeat the process.
