New Bitmap Font Creator Available!

Other Third-Party Tools
#1

Hi fellow devs! I’d like to share with you an app I’ve been working on for the past couple months.

www.glyphite.com

I present…Glyphite! A beautiful, fast, and affordable Bitmap font builder. Glyphite runs entirely in your browser so you never have to download an app. Choose from a (soon-to-be) massive selection of Photoshop-quality presets and tweak shadows, strokes, and fills to your heart’s desire. When you’re done, you can export in the standard BMFont format with more formats coming soon.

Glyphite caters to every member of your team, from designers to developers to marketers. We’ve streamlined the experience so that creating stunning text effects is as easy as clicking a button or tweaking settings in Photoshop.

It’s now ready to be taken for a spin…by you! We’ve launched in beta right now, but all of the core font-producing functionality is present. The app performs best in Chrome and Safari, but full support for Firefox is next in the pipeline.

Please, take a look (free to try!) and let us know what you think. We’re building this tool for you and we would love to know how you use it and what you’d like to see in the future.

Samerce, thanks for this impressive tool.

@suprasumomario, you can use the fonts with either version of the Corona SDK.

I’m a total newb in regard to bitmap fonts.

I created a fnt and png file then found a bmf.lua file download example that had it’s own fnt, and png files - it worked in Sim , but when replace with the fnt, png i created getting errors.

Now as i said total newb so - is there some special bmf.lua file we need for bitmaps we make with your site? if so do you have a link?

Unable to create an account with email / password or even facebook. Too bad. The site looks nice but can’t even get in the front door…

Not sure what you mean by can’t create an account…  You have one.
