LÖVE

Personally, I'd just take the performance hit and use True Type. That way you don't have to do anything extra when 0.8 is released either, provided the syntax is the same. I'd just hang in and wait it out.

I have already made ​​a good bitmap font and would like to use it. This is russian font.


But to use it looks like I will have to patch LOVE.

I didn't mention that for several reasons.

This is one of them.

That looks like hell to use. I think you'd need to specify the bounding box for each letter separately, if you want to use that as-is.

Thit program generaes all rectangles coordinates. Look:

There's also no space between the characters so you'd get a bit of bleed from the surrounding pixels, I think.

Maybe, but I dont think so. You can increase space between characters.

It depends on the way everything is rendered I suppose. No idea if this phenomena occurs in Love. I'd leave some space in-between the characters just in case.

In theory you shouldn't get any bleed if the coordinates are pixel perfect; that is unless for some strange reason half a pixel is used.

If you scaled it whatsoever, the nearest neighbor scaling algorithm would kick in, causing bleed. Always give yourself a pixel of space on each side!

Also I can't understand that:

Why russian characters aren't in center on the button? This is NOT ttf font.
