fontbm — Bitmap Font Generator

fontbm is a command-line utility that converts TTF/OTF fonts into bitmap font atlases compatible with the AngelCode BMFont format.

fontbm --font-file FreeSans.ttf --output myfont

Produces myfont.fnt (metrics) and myfont_0.png (texture atlas). The metrics file always has the .fnt extension, even with --data-format json or xml, so do not expect myfont.json.

Full reference

Run fontbm --help. It documents every option with its default, the produced files, the character range syntax and ready to run examples. Read it instead of guessing option names or values.

Running fontbm

The binary should be in the project directory or on PATH:

./fontbm --font-file FreeSans.ttf --output myfont

On Windows use fontbm.exe. Exits with 0 on success, 1 on error; errors and warnings go to stderr.
