@Thorvald: Yeah, I've had that happen, too. I lost two papers that way and had to rewrite from scratch. I'm hoping the company has a solution.

So, a funny thing happened yesterday...
I was in the middle of working on a font for yet another language I've created, and I guess the font editor hiccuped on me. The font I was editing was purged by the editor, and now I cannot load the font into the editor anymore. I still have it installed, and it mostly works. However, at least two of the glyphs are blank (probably need to go through and see what the others are doing), and I was not finished designing it. The program itself is giving me a #1009 error and will not load.
This had me a little bummed out, but then I realized that the way I was organizing the font was a little clunky to begin with. While I loathe having to restart a font that has at least 3000 glyphs at minimum, if I have to, I can reorganize the glyphs into something a little more intuitive to the keyboard. That said, I still don't want to restart this font because it took me about four months to get it this far before the editor jacked it up. It's a little conflicting. I've contacted the people who released the program and am waiting for an answer from them.
Jegus, at least you have salvageable remains. A while back I had WordPad open when the computer crashed, and goddamn Windows managed to corrupt the saved file, gutting months of work that I literally had to rebuild from scratch.
Fortunately it was miscellaneous notes and not a full project, or I might've put my fist through the screen.
