Autosave
Autosave | When enabled, MkFont will automatically save open documents if they have any unsaved modifications.
Autosave interval | Interval time in minutes at which the autosave function will trigger. Can range from 1min to 60min.
Display
Pangram max glyphs | Number of glyph above which the preview will stop auto-updating. Recomputing the font for the preview can be noticeably long with large number of glyphs, or complex ones; in which case updating the preview manually gives better editing performance.
Resources
Bind imported files | Whether or not to bind imported resources whenever a file is imported using the button. Note that the binding only remain for the duration of a work session, and no reference to the file is saved.
Mark color | The color used to “mark” custom boundaries when pasting SVG data from external applications. If you’re puzzled by this comment, check out the Asset preparation guide. Note that this setting is highly specific to certain workflows.
Third parties
SVG Editor Executable | Path to your default SVG editor. This is empty by default, but should you trigger an action that requires it, you will be prompted to pick it. The default SVG editor is primarily used by the action.
Adobe© Illustrator Executable | Path to your Adobe© Illustrator executable, if you’re using Adobe© Illustrator. This is empty by default, but should you trigger an action that requires it, you will be prompted to pick it. Adobe© Illustrator is only used by the action.
