FontForge does not support .fog files.

I wish it did. But I can't find any documentation on the format.
Can anyone point me to a specification?

When I have wished to transfer a fog file I have generated a PostScript
font and then imported that into fontforge.
  Then do
	Select All
	Replace With Reference
  to get references back that conversion to postscript loses.

Fontographer did not provide correct (ie. according to Adobe) names for
many non-latin glyphs. FontForge recognizes some of fontographer's names
and assigns them to the correct unicode slots but there may be some I've
missed.

If you have a type3 font, fontforge is supposed to read those generated
by the 1996 version of fontographer.
