FÖNTGen makes pretty fonts

[grump]

Updated to version 0.3

• Improved glyph bounds detection
  Fonts with broken bounds information are rendered correctly now.
  This change also generates more efficient font files with less space wasted.
• Removed texture atlas options
  Due to the accurate bounds detection these options are not required anymore.
• New supersampling option
  This feature makes it easier to add nuanced effects at smaller font sizes.
  It renders effects on large glyphs, then scales them down to the selected target size when saving the font.
• New "Increase font weight" setting
  Use this to emulate bold fonts (to a limited degree).
• Stroke can have alpha now
• New option to make monospace fonts
• Several UI improvements and bug fixes
• Support for symlinks in file picker
  Symbolic links weren't displayed before, now they are.
• Fixed a crash that occured when the stroke option was enabled and disabled again
• Fixed reversed bottom left/right glyph color
• Fixed key repeat bug in Nuklear

Starting with double click on fontgen.love should now work on Linux too.

Double-click to start does now work on my Linux box

Two more little points...

1 Is it worth having numerical values change when mouse button is held down on triangle thingies?
2 I set a stroke value of 6 as a test and there's a gap between the character and the stroke:

(ignore the artefact at the bottom, it's he selection tool when I grabbed a screenshot in Gimp)

Would be nice to have, but I couldn't find a way to make Nuklear behave that way.

Stroke algorithm is shit, will implement a better one soon.

can you add, import text file functions? the input is too slow
thx

[grump]

Are you talking about the example text for the font preview? How much text do you want to put there, and why?

I see the problem and I agree that it's a serious shortcoming.

I did not consider complex writing systems with huge numbers of glyphs when I made the tool. The glyph selection tool is not suited for this. Annoyingly, not even copy/pasting the glyph string is possible due to missing clipboard support in the Nuklear UI lib.

Unfortunately, due to me being busy with other stuff, I can't give a timeline for the release of the next version. Since it's not exactly a popular tool, it has very low priority for me.

To solve your problem with the current version: some kind of a macro/automation tool (e. g. AutoIt for Windows) that is able to send key presses to applications might work for you.
