Workspaces»

A Workspace is a saved set of information about states of visual user interface items which are customizable in FontLab: panels, windows and toolbars. The saved information includes what is visible, and how it is positioned/docked. This allows you to save a customized screen setup for how you want to work, and even customize it for different workflows, tasks or projects. You can share workspace files with other people across computers and even across platforms.
