Project Files

Save and reopen Font Builder work as `.webfontproject` packages.

Use project files when a Font Builder job needs to be edited, reviewed, or rebuilt later.

What gets saved

A .webfontproject package saves:

  • SVG glyph files.
  • Glyph names.
  • Unicode values.
  • Replacement glyph targets.
  • Build settings.
  • Output options.
  • Embedded source font data when a source font is used.

Reopening a project

Opening a .webfontproject restores the saved glyph set and build settings. If the project was created with a source font, WebFont loads the embedded source font data from the project package.

If replacement targets were configured, they are restored against the embedded source font data so the replacement result can be rebuilt without choosing the original font file again.

When to use it

  • Continuing a Font Builder job later.
  • Keeping an editable source package for an icon font.
  • Saving a source-font replacement job before export.
  • Sharing the exact Font Builder setup with another Mac running WebFont.

What it is not

  • It is not a final font file.
  • It is not a substitute for TTF, WOFF, or WOFF2 export.
  • It does not install fonts on your system.

Privacy note

Because project files can embed source font data, treat them like font files. Only share a .webfontproject when you are allowed to share the included font data.
