## Where are the source files?
-The contributors are working mostly with FontForge, and we are currently using the native sfdir (SplineFont Directory) format. This format stores each glyph in a single file. We plan to move to the more widespread UFO format in the near future (see [issue #17](https://github.com/ms-studio/karmilla/issues/17)).
+You will find them in the "src" folder.
-To open the font via FontForge, do "File > Open", navigate to and highlight the "Karmilla-Regular.sfdir" folder, and click "OK" – FontForge will then open the font. Don't attempt to open a single .glyph file.

+The contributors are working mostly with FontForge, and we are currently using the native sfdir (SplineFont Directory) format. This format stores each glyph in a single file.

## How to generate fonts?
-Here is the convention we are using we make changes, such as adding or improving glyphs:
-- Change the version number, under Element > Font Info
-- Export a new TTF, via Generate Fonts > TTF.
-- We name the TTF with the version appended to the filename, such as Karmilla-Regular-013.ttf - this makes it easier to test and compare different versions.
+Here is the convention we are using when we make significant changes, such as adding or improving glyphs:
+
+- Increment the version number, under "Element > Font Info".
+- Export a new TTF, via "Generate Fonts > TTF".
+- We name the TTF with the version appended to the filename, such as "Karmilla-Regular-014.ttf" - this makes it easier to test and compare different versions.
