Manual Bitmap Font Generator

[mcavalcanti]

Hello!

I spent last afternoon building a simple web-based solution to create bitmap fonts for GE. I did it because I tested other solutions, but I faced different problems. Some are paid, other are limited, other work good only if you use fixed width TTF fonts.

Mine solution has some limitations yet (antialiasing problem; you need to print screen the result; it does not generate the one line sequence automatically etc.), but, in other hand, it works with fixed width/height and you can use Google Fonts (just put the Google Font name in the related field).

It is working very good on recent versions of Firefox and Chrome. Can't test on Safari. I put some presets below the parameter box. I will try to implement gradient colors using CSS3.

For now, what is important to me is to get feedback from you. Is it a good solution? Bad solution? The wrost trash you saw?

That's it.

Update is working fine now. And I put two examples of bitmap fonts ready to use with GE.

Wow, that's cool. +1

I think that you should make so that you can browse for different fonts instead of just typing the name of it. But good job anyways

Thanks, SuperSonic. Suggestion noted.

In that font name field, it's possible to put Google Web Font names and also local TTF fonts. There's more PNG bitmap fonts available to download. All ready to use with GE.

Hello, my friends.

Just to inform you that I redesigned the Bitmap Font Generator. Now it is jQuery based. Real time changes. No more PHP request. I have not put a function to save the font atlas, but I think it stil can be useful. Feel free to comment.
