All I want is a very simple bitmap font creator which does the following :
1) Puts Truetype fonts of any size onto a texture.
2) Uses Windows Font-Smoothing to avoid aliased edges.
3) Exports the texture or image coordinates of the top left and bottom right corners ( or data from which these can be derived )
I do not want any fancy stuff. No shadows, no outlines, no trails, no glows, no gradients, none of it. If it does that optionally, fine, but I won't be using it.
So far I've found Big10P's juicy fonts, but it doesn't appear to use Windows Font Smoothing. I've found Bitmap Font Builder, but that doesn't export proper coordinates ( just widths, which is bloody pointless if you don't know the exact pixel to start from ) and the one that came with Sprite Candy, which either blurs everything to buggery or leaves sharp aliased edges.
There must be something which does this, surely? I'd hate to have to use BFB and then measure the coordinates manually.
