| Setting | Comment |
|---|---|
| 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. |
