The g2n file extension is associated with FontForge, an open-source font creation and editing program for Microsoft Windows, macOS and Linux.
A g2n file stores a mapping between glyphs and their names. FontForge uses this mapping data when working with font glyphs and their naming information.
This is an auxiliary FontForge data file rather than a complete font file.
Use a g2n file with FontForge on Microsoft Windows, macOS or Linux when working with related font data. The file stores mapping data and is not normally opened as a standalone document.
A g2n file is auxiliary mapping data rather than a font, so it is not normally converted by itself.
To produce a different font format, open the related font source or project in FontForge and export the font from there.
