Tools and Modifications / FOnline Font Utilities - FOFNT Maker/Text Splitter [PHOTOSHOP]
« on: December 12, 2013, 02:20:59 am »
Well, in case you missed my earlier post here...I was having some trouble making a font. After a long day at work and most of it working on this, I present some easy-to-use tools to hopefully help others who want to make fonts.
The scripts are simple JavaScript (ExtendScript) for PhotoShop. I tested against CS6. One script splits a whole word into layers by character. Those can then be copied to another PSD. Once you've filled your target PSD with all of the characters for your font, you can use the other script to create an FOFNT file that FOnline understands.
Files are available on GitHub: https://github.com/phatsk/FOTools
Hope this helps someone else - after about 30 minutes to line up 4 characters I knew there had to be a better way...
