Hi Type Designers. I hope this quick Italics tip is useful for you. I have added a download to the description so you can see how I set up this export feature. Enjoy!

I did not know this indeed. Glad I watched this video before going in a much more time consuming route.

ME SALVAS LA VIDA.
No sé por que la propia web oficial del Glyphs no tiene apenas información ni explicación de cosas tan esenciales y especificas. Y de las que si que explica están verdaderamente FATAL!!!! Ya me jode que no esté en versión Windows, pero el que los propios creadores ni siquiera sepan explicar todo lo que hace su propia aplicación... en fin, sin palabras.
MIL GRACIAS.

thanks for the information. After having that base, would the rounds have to be adjusted? since generally only with slant they are a little tight.
