Export font metrics

1.Review the installed fonts as explained in Review list of installed fonts.

2.Select one or more fonts.

3.On the Action menu, click Export, and then select the destination folder.

All exported fonts (if you exported more than one) are exported in the same XML file. Moreover, the exported XML contains fonts ids in the form <font id="obj3010". This is useful when you want to reimport fonts in the same database, but it may cause problems if you want to import them in another database. In the latter case, delete the id statement in the font node for each exported font - this will allow to import them as new objects in another database.
