Anchors disappeared

Claus Eggers Sø...

Hey there, I just realised that the anchors I placed in my Fontlab file are now all gone. I am livid. Should I be? I can't seem to 'paste special' the anchors from an older version of the vfb. Suggestions please – any scripts that can copy anchors?

Thanks in advance
Claus

Mask your new font to your old font. Copy glyphs from the old font to the new font. Then (Tools>) Swap outline with mask layer.

That was what I was afraid of. But thanks anyway.

It might not be the most elegant solution, but it worked out fine for me (when I accidently deleted my anchors).
