Sprite Font Generator - v3

Nice you kept updating it!

Just came from 1.1 to 1.11 and encountered a bug: changed the font, then after I dragged the window it changed the anti-aliasing to high even though it was set to "none". I mean it still says "none" but its being treated as "high" (there's no difference between none and high now basically) even after restarting the program I can't get rid of the anti-aliasing!

Is there some setting file hidden somewhere that's keeping it messed up despite me restarting the program?

Give this version a try. It will generate a log file. Send that to me so I can see the parameters sent to the Draw code. Thanks.

Ok this new version was great, it was working perfectly and saved a font thing, but then I reopened it and suddenly I get the bug. I think it's do with you updating it or something, cause when I saved it the image was a wide rectangle and then when I reopened the program it changed the image to a nice square format but also applied that "high" anti-alising despite it still being on none.

Where is the file that is remembering my last font/settings used? If I could delete that before every time I used it, it would never have to update the old image and thus would work perfectly again.

Added some more logging.

Edit:

Yet more logging:

GYFM_v1_11_3.zip

Steps I did:

• changed font and size
• set it to "none"
• closed
• opened and it has applied the "high" aliasing to it (but still says none)

Do you think it could be a font issue? (i used Quicksand which is open type then used an online converted to make it true type so it would work.)

Let's try one more thing:

Awesome! Well I haven't noticed it happen again yet :)

I love this tool including JSON.

I'm wondering how to adjust the width of space between the words. I imported mine and the space seems too long.

You have to set the space width separately. Have a look at the CAPX sample on the first post.

Oops, my mistake, I tought it looks like "" but I observed it was " " there a space. Thanks!

Hi blackhornet!

I've been fiddling with your tool and it's a real time saver!

However, I noticed sometimes the image dimensions are a bit off: I'm trying to export a font with the latin characters (�����...) so it's a lot more characters. The problem is that the output image is 256 x 4096, and it could easily fit a more square size (probably 1024x1024).

Is there any thing I can do to prevent your tool from going crazy like this? :)

I actually try to get the image to be square, but there's a bunch of factors that affect the final size that's calculated. The final file size is exactly the same in the case you illustrate, so it really doesn't matter in the end.

Hi man, thanks for the quick reply!

The problem with non-square textures is that the video card will always put any texture you have on powers of 2. So a 4096x256 image will actually use video memory as if it was a 4096x4096 texture, which is a lot - especially for a font asset! :-)
