The glyphs file format allows you to exchange your fonts with people who use a different font editor. However like any other file format, it does not cover everything.

 

FontCreator can open all known versions of the format, but some information will be lost during the import. FontCreator always exports as glyphs version 3, but it does not fully support all data.

 

Our own FontCreator Project font file format is able to store all font data that FontCreator supports, so in general it is best to use that as your main source. From there, you can export fonts for use on desktop or web, as well as to interchangeable font project resources. This will make sure that regardless of the font format you export, all information about the font will remain available.
