10. Now we can handle the encoding. The
default encoding for imported fonts is "Imported".
We need to change this.
11. Select the encoding options from the
toolbar on the font window. In FontLab there are two
encoding modes - Names encoding mode and Unicode encoding
mode. We want to put FontLab into Names encoding mode
because the converted font will be PostScript®
Type 1. The Unicode encoding mode button must be retracted
to be in names encoding mode (shown below). We also
want to select Windows ANSI encoding from the drop-down
list of available encoding tables. Perform the following

FontLab is now ready to create the actual PC Type 1
font.
