Install [fontmake]\n2. Download the file for your OS from the [releases tab]\n   - Windows: Extract it and run the `.exe`.\n   - MacOS: Extract it and run the `.app`.\n   - Linux: Install the [Love2D package], run it with `love bitmapfontcreator_linux.love`\n\n## Usage manual\nOn startup, Bitmapfontcreator will create a new font.\n\n#### Font options\nYou can change the font metadata on the top right, under '*Font options*'.\nDon't forget to press enter to confirm, though,\nsince otherwise it won't save the changes.\n\n#### Glyph options\nAt the bottom right, under '*Glyph options*', three previews are present,\nwith scaling x1, x2 and x4. To add a subcomponent, click the '*add*'-button,\nand click on the glyph you want to add. You can then change the x and y-offset,\nor remove it.\n\n#### Character picker\nAt the left side is the character picker,\nabove that is the button to switch between the two sets of characters:\n- Normal, printable characters\n- Combining (non-printable) characters, like only the acute or grave symbol.\n\n#### Drawing canvas\nMouse actions in the drawing canvas:\n\nButton                          | Action\n--------------------------------|-----------\nleft click                      | add pixel\nright click                     | remove pixel\nmiddle click\u003cbr\u003e*or* ctrl+click | move canvas\nscroll                          | zoom\n\n#### Font actions\nBitmapfontcreator will save the font in `ufo`-format, in the save directory.\n- If there is no folder with the font name present, it will create one.\n- If there is alreaady a folder with the font name present,\nit will use that as its font root,\nessentially updating the font that was present previously.\n\nFor compiling, Bitmapfontcreator will need [fontmake],\nwhich will generate a TrueType-font in the save directory.\n\nSave directory:\n\nPlatfom | Path\n--------|------\nWindows | `%appdata%\\bitmapfontcreator\\`\nMacOS   | `~/Library/Application Support/bitmapfontcreator/`\nLinux   | `~/.local/share/love/bitmapfontcreator`\n\nTo load a font, navigate to the save directory and drag the `.ufo` directory\nonto the Bitmapfontcreator window.  \nIf it doesn't create a font file, there probably was an error while compiling.\nTo see logs and error messages on windows, run the exe from the command line\nas `bitmapfontcreator.exe --console`.\nFor MacOS and Linux, running Bitmapfontcreator from the command line\nshould be enough.\n\n## License\nSee [LICENSE](LICENSE).\n\nThis project uses the following libraries:\n- [Gspöt](https://notabug.org/pgimeno/Gspot) (Zlib/libpng)\n\n[fontmake]: https://github.com/googlefonts/fontmake#installation\n[releases tab]: https://github.com/Dantevg/bitmapfontcreator/releases\n[Love2D package]: https://www.love2d.org/\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdantevg%2Fbitmapfontcreator","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fdantevg%2Fbitmapfontcreator","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdantevg%2Fbitmapfontcreator/lists"}
