MULTIFONT PACKER

MultiFont Packer is a web based tool for make BitmapFonts, like Shoe Box. The main objective of this tool is to optimize font based resources by using a single atlas to support multiple bitmap fonts. In this first version we use the XML descriptor format Angel Code.

<font>
     <info face="{{name}}" size="{{size}}" />
     <common lineHeight="{{lineHeight}}" scaleW="{{scaleW}}" scaleH="{{scaleH}}" pages="{{num_pages}}" />
     <pages>
     {{#pages}}
         <page id="{{id_page}}" file="{{file_name}}" />
     {{/pages}}
     </pages>
     <chars count="{{chars_count}}">
     {{#chars}}
         <char letter="{{letter}}" id="{{code}}" x="{{x}}" y="{{y}}" width="{{width}}" height="{{height}}" xoffset="{{xoffset}}" yoffset="{{yoffset}}" xadvance="{{xadvance}}" />
     {{/chars}}
     </chars>
     <kernings count="{{kernings_count}}">
     {{#kernings}}
     {{/kernings}}
     </kernings>
 </font>

How to use?

1 Drag and Drop your font image pre-created (ex. Photoshop)

2 Set correct letter in each image. In the future I'll use Tesseract.js

3 You can set font properties.

4 And test the result.

Pixi.js Test

Inside this project you can test the result with Pixi.js engine.

folder: /test/

1. npm install
2. Modify /src/index.js PIXI.BitmapText, your correct name font and size.
3. webpack to compile
4. Launch a server ( ex. http-server ) in /test/dist/
5. And look at the result
