Here is an explanation of the possible encoding export options:
Always write
custom encoding
Always saves the custom encoding with the font. Never
writes StandardEncoding. The encoding currently selected
in the Font window will be exported.
Always write
StandardEncoding
Always exports the font with the StandardEncoding.
Select encoding
automatically
Exports the font with the StandardEncoding when the Font
window shows StandardEncoding, Default Encoding or
Windows ANSI. Exports a custom encoding if any of the
other encodings is selected or if the Font window is in
Codepages mode.
Export Unicode
codepage if codepage
mode is active
Exports a custom encoding based on the currently selected
codepage if the Font window is in Codepages mode.
We recommend setting the Select encoding automatically option as the
default, because it covers most exporting situations very well.
Automatically sort glyphs
This option allows FontLab to sort glyphs accordingly to the selected
encoding on export.
