# Export OpenType Fonts

Glyphs can export OpenType Fonts. It uses a makeOTF from Adobe FDK to compile them.

If you have a Multi Layer Font, the instances are exported.

## Options on export

1. #### Use Production glyph names

   This converts all readable names production names (e.g Acyrillic to afii10017, Tcommaaccent to uni021A)

2. #### Remove Overlap

   This decomposes all glyphs and removes overlap. The first run takes a bit more time.

3. #### Adds points at extremes

   This might distort the outline a bit so test if is is really necessary.

4. #### Autohint

   This uses Adobe autohint to hint all glyphs without hints. It needs stem values to be defined in the the Master Setting.

5. #### Ignore Manual Hints

   This does not exports the manual hints. This is recommended for Multi Layer Fonts.

6. #### Install Font

   To copy the exported font to the specified location. For example, set this to the Adobe Fonts folder (/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Font) for easy testing of fonts in InDesign®.
