How to generate a bitmap font
Turn a character set into a bitmap font sheet — a grid of glyphs plus a metrics file — for use in game engines that render text from a texture. Runs in your browser.
Steps
- Enter your characters (letters, numbers, punctuation — any text).
- Set the font size and columns. Each glyph is centered in an equal cell; columns control the sheet's width.
- Download:
- PNG — the glyph sheet on a transparent/dark background.
- JSON metrics — the cell size and each glyph's
x/y/w/h, so your engine knows where each character lives.
Pair the PNG and JSON in your engine to draw text glyph-by-glyph.
