Create new font substitution settings

Font substitution settings tell memoQ to use a different font in the translated document. If the source language uses a different script than the target language, this may be necessary.

For example, when a document is translated from Japanese into English, the translated document may need to use a different main font.

If you have a font substitution profile in your project, memoQ replaces the font when it exports the translated document.

This command creates a new empty font substitution profile. After this, you must edit it to add the actual font substitution rules.
