BMFont Editor

A small tool to modify bitmap fonts glyphs (angel code format).

Demo build

An early preview is available from the releases page.

This is a very raw version that can work only with the predefined bitmap font to let you play with it and understand how it works.

It has a simple bounding box discovery algorithm, that helps to define base character params (like size and position). It works like this:

  1. Select any character
  2. Click on any non empty pixel on the right pane
  3. Program will find BB for that glyph

Hot keys:

CTRL+N create a new glyph

CTRL+SHIFT+N create a span of new glyphs

CTRL+DEL delete the selected glyph

CTRL+F find a glyph by pressing they related key-code

CTRL+T open a preview window to try the current font

CTRL+SPACE save changes you made for the glyph (within edit panel at the bottom)

CTRL+S save the current document in angel code font format
