Thanks.
That's not so good. Have you considered an option where the user can select which xml file will be used, as in user, default, or both? Then in the case of both, all the default defs would be loaded, unless they also appeared in the user file, which would be used instead. Just an idea.

I suggest you post your suggestion to the FontCreator - Requests and Enhancements forum. If more people respond positive to it, we are likely to further improve it.

If you copy the CompleteComposites.xml file to the User Data Folder all of the defaults will be used anyway as they exist in the copy. If you want more, just add your own. If you want to change any, then edit the copy. If you want to disable any, just delete them.

Keep a backup of your user data files. Use a product like Exam Diff to compare the default and custom files.
