Need Help With Image Fonts...

Postby PerrySteven » Fri Jun 12, 2015 10:22 am

Hello, recently I have looked into one option in Game-Editor where it allows you to implement a font from an Image, where your characters must be in ASCII sequence in one line. But the problem I have is that I don't clearly understand the Input boxes of that option, and I don't know what ASCII sequence in one line looks like. I checked it on the internet, but they seem to show what looks to be more like tables. Any help would be much appreciated.

I didn't try this option, but I think you need all printable characters. For example, make a .png file with all those characters successively:
..., 0, 1, 2, ..., a, b, c, ...,
ASCII table
Start with the character at number 32 I think and all to the character 126 (maybe 127). Write/draw them one after another. All characters should take space of the same width.
I didn't try this, but that's what I would do.

Thank you very much! I will try that out sometime.

Thank you very much for that diagram, it was helpful as well. Also, I successfully managed to create my own Image Font! Yay!
