About
ppFonter is a bitmap generation tool whose sole purpose is to take truetype fonts and generate bitmapped images.
Key features of ppFonter are:
- Reduce development time and cost. Can save many hours of work for artists.
- Ability to deal with zip archives containing TTF files, singular TTF files and system installed TTF files.
- Packs characters in texture pages reducing wasted space like other generators that use legacy grid spacing.
- Ability to set page dimensions. When generating a font, ppFonter will automatically create as many pages that will be needed to accomodate all characters specified.
- Drop shadow with independant opacity and colour setting.
- Three predefined character settings and the inclusion of user defined text.
- Supports drag and drop of various image formats to texture fonts.
- Font and background colour settings, random "I feel lucky" colour setting and scriptable presets using XML.
- Customisable export and preview plugins using the supplied SDK.
- Supports unicode, making asian localisation a few clicks worth of work.
- User defined text will only use the unique characters that you need, very useful for asian localisation.
- Supplied preview plugin will let you preview what a font will look like in its intended enviroment by just changing the background bitmap and the XML script.
