/* FONT TOOL TYPES */

@node FONT "Font Tool Types"

@{FG Highlight}Font Tool Types@{FG Text}

Project icons for PostScript and Compugraphic files are not required so
you can delete font icons if you wish. Project icons for .DMF files
contain information useful to TypeSmith because some information cannot be
stored in the .DMF file. In general, you should not delete them until you
are finished working on a font.
