Hi Georg and Eric,
Could you please clarify what happens to the TTF files when I have the autohint button unchecked at export, I’m saving as TTF and I have some TTFautohint instructions in my instances? Will the instructions force the activation of ttfauthoint or will my TTF files be totally unhinted?
I’m experiencing some issues printing TTF from Word on A3, shapes get severely deformed (like they have been hacked), and the only solution seems to export with the autohint button not checked. The tutorial https://glyphsapp.com/tutorials/hinting-postscript-autohinting in the Apply Autohinting section, suggests that the autohint button only refers to PostScript Autohinting and should be off at export for TTF files, but the Glyphs handbook in the 15.4.3 Generating OpenType/TT Fonts section seems to suggest that in case of saving as TTF files, the autohint button activates ‘ttfautohint algorithm by Werner Lemberg to all glyphs’.
I just want to make sure that the final TTF files will still be hinted by ttfautohint, but also avoid the shape deformation that I get from checking the autohint box.
