Note: For Development you will also want to download the recommended JDK version.
Download the latest jar file from our releases page.
Once the dependencies are in place, navigate to the jar file you downloaded earlier in any console emulator (terminals, command prompts, you get it), and run the following command:
java -jar FontGenerator.jarWithin the app itself, there are a number of keybindings available to make the process of creating fonts easier, including:
ctr-rto reset the current characterctr-sto save the current character- left and right arrows to swap the current symbol
- up and down arrows to change to uppercase and lowercase respectively
The intention of these additions are to have them available for any kind of peripheral pen buttons, to streamline the font creation process
This program was meant to be used with a tablet and pen interface, but as long as you can click and drag any mouse or mouse-simulating peripheral will do.
