typesheet

typesheet is a tiny Python script for creating transparent PNG spritesheets from TrueType (.ttf) fonts.

I made it because I couldn't find an easy option online while developing a game.

I welcome contributions, but I don't plan to spend more than a few minutes a month maintaining this repo.
