sfont?

sfont is a small font library that uses .bmp files to store fonts.
if you want a lightweight font library for custom fonts sfont is the ideal thing.

how to create a font

1. use your favourite picture editor and create a text line with the following characters:

! " # $ % & ' ( ) * + , - . / 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 : ; < = > ? @ A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z [ \ ] ^ _ ` a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z { | } ~

beware: maybe you need two spaces between the letters. otherwise sfontmaker.exe might not work properly! and it's better too keep some space above and below your font.

2. save it as raw.bmp in the same folder as sfontmaker.exe

3. run raw2font.bat

4. font.bmp now contains the ready font

5. have fun with your new font!
