Color fonts, fixes, and improvements
Pixel Font Converter! » Devlog
Background
I have updated the tool to the current versions of Haxe and fonthx, which allows it to utilize some of the new, delicious, features.
Additions
- There is now support for color fonts!
Fonthx uses SVG color fonts for this, support for which varies - e.g. on my machine these work in Firefox, but not Chromium. - You can now choose output format between TTF and OTF.
- You can now opt to use a simpler algorithm for tracing shapes, which produces bigger TTF files, but supports glyphs like ☉ (a shape inside a hole inside a shape)
- There is now (inside the menu) an option to process multiple pairs of image and JSON files at once
- A German translation
I thought that someone had also sent me a Polish translation, but I cannot find it. If that was you and you’re reading this, please send it again.
Improvements
- I reorganized the UI to leave more space for text on controls
- The UI now automatically takes up the available page width
- Moved less-common controls to a drop-down menu
Fixes
- Fixed image color mode detection failing for some images
- Fixed some oddities with glyph info overlays in Firefox
Known issues
- Versions are currently marked as
1.0
because the way version information is stored has changed infonthx
and I have to redo my code.
