Help Menu — FontForge 20201107 documentation

# Help Menu

`Help`

  Invokes a browser and brings up contextual help on fontforge web site.

  If you define the environment variable `BROWSER` so that it contains the name of the browser you like then FontForge will use that, otherwise it will try to guess something appropriate by looking at your PATH. On CygWin systems browsers that work in the windows world (as opposed to the cygwin sub-system) must be specified by a full path spec.

  FontForge will search for help in either /usr/share/doc/fontforge/ or on http://fontforge.sf.net/.

`Overview`

`Index`

  Invokes a browser and brings up the index of help topics on the web page.

`About`

  Will display the splash screen again.

`License`

  Invokes a browser to display FontForge’s license.
