Will it work with  ".fnticons"? If I'm not mistaken it should work with any extension that starts with .fnt:

You're right! That works, and as you theorized it doesn't show up in the menu too. Great to know you can do this.

Wherever they end up, I'm intrigued and eager to see what they look like.

Great points on the descriptive filenames and README. It might be a good idea to put a reference table in it to communicate the contents of each file as well.
