Using Bookmarks

If you need to work on large fonts, Font Creator's bookmark feature is invaluable. Control + Shift + Digit sets a bookmark, while Control + Digit goes to that bookmark. The bookmarks are stored in a plain text file called (surprise :shock: ) bookmarks.txt, which is stored in the Font Creator Application Data directory.

Each line in the text file is just the Hexidecimal code-point of the bookmark. If you have a preferred set of bookmarks that you wish to backup, just make a copy of bookmarks.txt and copy it over bookmarks.txt if your bookmarks get changed by mistake.
