Shoebox Bitmap Font Download REPACK

Hi all, and hi Daniel (hope you'll read this)

I came across that problem with character spacing in bitmap fonts. I've searched through the forum and through the wiki and all that was there "it's not possible to add char spacing from the code - you have to manually adjust xadvance properties in XML".

I needed a way to set it from my project's code because if you want to do this in BMFont you have to manually set a spacing for each character. It's possible for a set of digits but it becomes a nightmare if you have to change something or create a different font.

I used to use shoebox for my bitmap fonts, though I had visual issues with the way they came out despite all the tweaking. For regular fonts being converted into bitmap fonts I use angelcode's BMFont myself. I haven't had any spacing issues? Space between words should be consistent, so I thought you meant kerning but kerning is perfect for me. Perhaps your export settings are causing the problem?

The point is - I don't have regular fonts, I have a folder of styled characters which I need to add to a BMFont one after another, manually changing it's charID and all other things. This process is pretty long, even if you only have to add digits.

So when I have a ready-to-use font I want it to look just like in the original design:

And I get

(4px more spacing)

You can apply a spacing value even negative. It's meant for fonts that are not intended for text editors but having styled graphics like in games. I've had issues which I first thought was kerning but seems to have something to do with bounding boxes for each char. You get a preview of a string you provide as you tweak away at the settings.

What sort of settings are you using with BMFont? If you try exporting a regular font are you still getting that same visual error? I've never exported outlined fonts with BMFont, only plain white fonts.

If you are giving BMFONT actual bitmaps for each char like you mentioned about a folder, I don't even know how to do that with BMFont. Your issue then might be that the bitmaps themselves are all the same width/height, which would mean the spacing of 1 and 0 would be vastly different. If not the same, perhaps there is still transparent padding in the images and you need to trim those excess pixels off to fix spacing issues.

If I manually trim transparent pixels, the problem remains - what if I want to add some spacing between characters? It's not practically possible to forecast how much transparent pixels should a char have.

Of course, I can recreate my font using BMFont, which is a routine work as you have to manually import every single character, so it's not a solution.

Yeah, this sort of thing seemed useful, so I added a letterSpacing property to BitmapFontTextRenderer when I implemented bitmap fonts in Feathers. As you discovered, it was pretty easy. If you think the core Starling TextField should have this feature, you should probably open a feature request on Github.

Please Note: I am talking about a tool for creating bitmap font xml FROM a PNG of characters drawn by an artist, NOT a tool for outputting a PNG of characters from a font file like a TTF. Thanks..

In my job I make a lot simple of HTML5 browser games and often use bitmap fonts created from a character set drawn by one of our artists. To create them I currently use ShoeBox. Shoebox is pretty great for generating the font XML as it can find the individual characters on the atlas and calculate the kerning values. Unfortunately it has some serious bugs - the application's character detection completely fails if you:

Shoebox is intended mostly for software designers and developers. It is a set of tools based on Adobe Air, which helps you perform various tasks related to designing interfaces and games. In this regard, it lets you pack various images into a texture Atlas, export individual sprites from a sprite sheet or bitmap font set as well as generate font sets. Other uses of the tool include splitting PSD layers into different PNG files.

In terms of working with sprites, it is possible to create, read and extract sprites from sheets. Similarly, it can create sprite pivots. As to bitmaps, you can mask images, extract tiles, rip textures and upload picture files to Flickr. Unfortunately, it is a shame that, when you are import Photoshop documents, you cannot work with vector shapes and masks or use advanced nesting commands.

The process, as I understand it, is you select a character set from the applet, and it copies it to clipboard, from where you paste into an image editor, edit the copied font in-place to your liking, export it back as a texture image, and the applet will then export it as fnt bitmap font, and it is one of the few generators that are able to do fnt-xml style that Pixi likes to work on. Watch the video in the link.

100% on extract sprites, a great tool when returning to an old project. Another bitmap font generator we have used in a pinch is Great generator we started using for AIR projects but it also works with PIxi Bitmap fonts too.

I second this request for .fnt support, it would add a much needed option for C2 fonts in general. Web fonts can be unreliable if you are not connected to the internet, sprite fonts with customization like this would be #1 option for most projects in my opinion.

soo easy! i can't even imagine a convenient way with the current features of the sprite font plugin. this char-width action is cool, but i don't really see this tedious part on the users side.. more on scirras side :P

This is an incredible app - the best free tool for bitmap font creation. The most powerful feature is that you can style your fonts in PS, than just drag and drop the PNG with all the required characters and voila, spritesheet is ready.

So I am updating my old android game and I am having some problems with the font. I had to scale up my bitmap font and now it is blurry. Because of that I want to know where can I get a bitmap font with higher resolution and in which folder do I have to put it? Can someone help me with that?

Make a dir "fonts" inside assets of android project and store your font(s) there.Basically all the assets (atlases, music, sound samples...) must go to the android project assets dir.

I was working on a project with Bitmap fonts.

So I had fnt + png files, but defold did not understand them. It turned out, that fnt file was in xml format and defold only reads text format.

I did not find a way to make ShoeBox or Hiero or Bitmap Font Generator do the convertion for me. Though they read the xml version without problems.

So I wrote simple converter on c#. And I upload it here, in case someone ever need it.FontXmlToTextConverter.zip (31.5 KB)

I used Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition to build it. This archive has both source code and exe file for lazy ones.

If you need another solution you could import the same non-dynamic font with different sizes for each resolution type and use a script to change the font on the fly. The class DisplayMetricsUtil provides GetResolutionType().

About the P and the p, I have a suggestion that I think that works also, while mantaining the font consistence a bit more (again, just my opinnion XD). Also a pair of suggestions about the 7 and the Y.

I used to do some bitmap font editing back in the day when I was into modding but if I remember correctly, they all used some sort of engine specific stuff that could read straight from a png or other image formats.

FontForge is a free and open source font editor with bitmap font support and a pretty nice bitmap editor, and it can output .fnt/.fon and BDF bitmap fonts, as well as vector fonts with embedded bitmaps.

Yeah, Aseprite is perfect to edit the png files. Also yes, the plain text is just locations fo each glyph, size, offset, etc. You can have a look at one of the fonts I made based on the press-start-2p.font, link here: ahnw font.zip

Hi,

I have a png sprite sheet with letters from A-Z, and I want to create a bitmap fonts. How can I do that?

I tried to use the tool bmfont, but so far it is no possible.

Does anyone has the same issue?

Thanks

The manual is included with the tool, but for those who wish to take a look at it without installing the tool first it is also available here. The manual describes bothhow to use the tool and the file format of the generated files.Online documentationSource codeThe source code is available under the widely known zlib license. The svn repositoryis hosted at SourceForge.netGet the code by pointing your svn client at: you want any support with the code, then please visit the forums.Observation on virus alertAvira anti-virus has been known to give a virus alert when scanning bmfont.exe or the installer. This is a falsepositive generated by their heuristic functions that tries to predict and catch unknown viruses. I've already reportedthis false positive to Avira a few times and each time they recognize it as a false positive, however for some reasonthe problem comes back months later (presumably when they update the heuristic functions).If anyone has any idea what I need to change in the code to prevent this false alert I would very much like to know.Tutorials & ResourcesHere are a some links to other resources that provide information or tools that are useful for those interested in bitmap fonts.

After you create a TextMesh Pro font Asset, you can delete the Unity font Asset you used as a source, although you may want to keep it in the Scene in case you need to regenerate the TextMesh Pro font Asset. e24fc04721
