[n00b] Compiling Fonts
« on: December 11, 2013, 12:28:34 am »
Any tips on how to compile a new font from a PNG?

Edit: Figured it out - see this thread for tools http://forum.fonline-reloaded.net/index.php?topic=3192.0

You mean convert a PNG file to a binary fnt file with full description? I don’t think it’s an easy task, but you can try programs like Bitmap Font Generator, ShoeBox or UBFG, though I’m afraid none of these tools will do exactly what you want.

Well, I assumed binary...but I just opened up the .fofnt for the font I was editing and...it appears that it's just a text file  ;) Well, mark this as solved...on to figuring out why my fonts didn't show then.

Thanks for the tips, I'll try to investigate a little more in the future but given the Terminal icon on the file, I was sure they were binary. Derp derp.
