Bitmap Font Generator

About

FOSS and cross-platform alternative to Glyph Designer made with Qt.

Renders specified characters with a font to one (or multiple) textures, applying several neat effects in the process and creates a lookup file containing each character's position and dimension in the textures. These 'Bitmap fonts' are used for efficiently rendering text in games and general 3D applications.

Created to teach myself modern-ish C++ and Qt.

Status

Core is very far, but the GUI lacks a lot of features.
