# Export and install fonts from Glyphs.app

Installing fonts on MacOS sometimes is tricky, as fonts stay cached in the old

version, even when installing a new one.

This script solves caching issues.

1. Exports all active instances of a font

2. Deletes (uninstalls) older versions of each instance

3. Renames the exported fonts to `OriginalName-20180212-2234.otf` (including the

   current time to avoid caching issues)

4. Installs the new version into `~/Library/Fonts`

Before running this script the first time, use Glyph.app’s export function at

least once. The configuration is kept.

## Installation

```

git clone [email protected]:hagenburger/glyphs-export-and-install.git

cd glyphs-export-and-install

ln -s "`pwd`/Export-and-install.py" ~/Library/Application\ Support/Glyphs/Scripts

```

Restart Glyphs.app.
