What are the meaning of T H M symbols in high right corner of Fontlab editor.

How do I turn? I believe that without the T activated I can´t use the symbol as .ttf font

Is this correct?

I greatly appreciate this information.

T: the glyph has truetype hints.
H: the glyph has type 1 hints.
M: the glyph has something in the mask layer.

Thanks very much

When I click with mousse in some glyph I desactive (erase delete)truetype hints

Where can I activate the truetype hints again?

I don’t work with truetype hints, so I don’t know the answer. But I can tell you that truetype hinting is a very difficult thing to do. Do you really need to do it by yourself? If so, reading the Fontlab manual (chapter 9) could be a good place to start.
