Out of curiosity, what would you say is the most accurate/comprehensive resource for learning about these?
I absolutely did find examples where I needed to specify. I kind of allude to that in the post, but yeah whenever I add the ability to automate something like this, I almost always make sure to include the ability for…
I will absolutely consider it. I am getting some good ideas from other comments as well, so I'll put those in my project notes to do as a possible update to the fonts.
I did a quick search, this for Hungarian support, yes? If those are the only two characters I would have to do to support the language, I'm collecting suggestions from other comments in this post as well and might do a…
Great suggestion, I would not have discovered this easily. thanks!
some is a homie and does excellent work! They also have a Patreon where you can support/guide them in the creation of new pixel art assets and fonts and stuff like that, if you're into that sort of thing. It's a cool…
I wanted to describe how the algorithm works, and show what it looks like to ship a project of that magnitude, and share some of the fun problems complexities that come up. I'd like to see more creatives using code as a…
This was just an oversight. I actually got very far into the project before I realized that ø was missing from my set. It’s something that I could definitely go through and patch into all the fonts, but I was waiting to…
Not a bad suggestion at all. Lots of fonts even provide ligatures for certain letter pairs so they can touch, but tweak them so they look a bit better. That kind of thing is another level of polish that I could…
A combination of word of mouth and itch.io's search system. I have a decent amount of social media followers, many who have used my fonts in the past, so the initial flood of wishlisters put it on the front page for a…
It also just makes them usable in traditional graphics editors like photoshop, indesign, affinity, aseprite, etc. Those tools do not have the concept of a pixel font, so using a TTF with hinting/antialiasing turned off…
Ahh yes there it is, thanks for clarifying. These are quite simple and would be easy to support.
I definitely could, I would have to do a bit of tests to see what kinds of volumes deserved special treatment. Usually the way I do things is I start by doing work manually. If I find that there's a common pattern in…
Nice catch. That's a culprit of the `auto_kerning_min` property that you'll see on a lot of the fonts. this tells the auto kerner not to exceed that. I added this parameter because I fouund that for a lot of fonts,…
It makes me very happy to see people talking about how much work can go into a typeface. Like, these pixel fonts are very quick to make, but fully contoured vector fonts can be tweaked to perfection infinitely, there's…
Glad you brought this up, because it's absolutely true! All the code is not on the site, but I actually allocate and clone a lot of strings and data structures as well. I did optimal code where it was obvious (bitmap…
Is a micron the name of the straight line over the 'a' in Māori? A single pixel line over a bunch of a's is tremendously simple to do in pixel fonts, I could probably add that to all the fonts in a day... hmmmm
Sometimes I would get pretty far into a new font only to realize it was almost a total copy of another. It happened, I just managed to notice before releasing them lol
The game you are probably talking about is Beacon.
