2dt Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 In browsing around for useful bitmap font generators, I stumbled upon: http://renderhjs.net/shoebox/bitmapFont.htm The process, as I understand it, is you select a character set from the applet, and it copies it to clipboard, from where you paste into an image editor, edit the copied font in-place to your liking, export it back as a texture image, and the applet will then export it as fnt bitmap font, and it is one of the few generators that are able to do fnt-xml style that Pixi likes to work on. Watch the video in the link. It also has a bunch of other image editing stuff relevant to 2d work. Hope this helps people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Yup Shoebox is awesome, have been pimping it in my talks for years! I probably use the Extract Sprites feature the most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sebrofjr Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 100% on extract sprites, a great tool when returning to an old project. Another bitmap font generator we have used in a pinch is http://kvazars.com/littera/ Great generator we started using for AIR projects but it also works with PIxi Bitmap fonts too.
