Hello.
Is there a handy utility (for the PC) that allows me to edit a font, say a truetype master , and then export it as a bitmap at various sizes. I would ordinarily just edit a bitmap and then resize it and then tweak it so I’ve got a 10 point a and 8 point version. This is all fine, but when it comes to doing several sizes of the bitmap font it starts getting a bit tedious (Especially when I can test the font using Bitmap Font Writer, but utimatley have to remove the deliniators (spaces between characters) in order to save space as is complient with our own bitmap file format. I could just render out the font (no anti-aliasing) at various sizes keeping the text “live” and then tweaking the hinting to my heart’s content. Is there such a program (other than Bitfonter)? Thanks.

Is that resounding silence one full of “don’t know”, “no idea” or “what the hell are you on about?”
