Find files
Where to find your exported font file
Best practice file workflow
- When export is finished, your browser usually saves an OTF font file into Downloads.
- Move it to a project folder such as Documents/Tracey Exports.
- If your font has a name like "My Tracey.otf", keep that final copy and note the date.
- Optional but useful: save the matching scan image next to the font file.
- If you cannot find it, search your file manager for "tracey" and recent OTF files.
What to keep with each version
- Final OTF font file (one active version).
- The export date in the file name.
- The matching sheet photo or PDF (if you need to re-run).
- Any manual review notes (for example, missing glyphs fixed later).
Browser-specific save locations to check
- Google Chrome: check the default Downloads folder unless you changed the save path.
- Safari: check Downloads and any "Open in Finder" path from the pop-up.
- Firefox: confirm "Always ask me where to save files" if enabled and look there.
- Edge: check standard browser downloads and recent files list if needed.
Do not confuse these files
- Template PDFs open in the browser so you can print them.
- Exported OTF files are the font files you install.
- Source photos are useful backups, but they are not installable fonts.
