Hi all,
I just packaged one of the small tools I created for myself.
It's a tool to very easily create block fonts.
Download it at:
http://www.lodgia.com/index.php?_r=d&_fn=BFC_1.0.zipIt contains also a Blitz library to load the blockfonts, and write with them.
Here is a screen shot.

Hi Chaos.
I have tried running your program but whenever I click on the Preview or Render buttons the program crashed with a "TODO: <File description> has encoutnered a problem and needs to close. We are soory for the inconvenience." error.
Are there any DLLs\runtime dependencies which I may be missing?
I am running XP Pro.
edit : I have also tried running it on my XP home installation on my netbook and it gives exactly the same error as above.
Cheers.
Daz.
Wierd, it should work without any dependencies. Maybe there is some hidden dependency that I don't know of. Could you try putting the mfc.dll inside the same folder for example?
ps. It seem to work for other ppl who download it. I think it's probably a DLL that's quite common, but you don't happen to have. (Yes I know that not much help)...
What does this offer that the following do not?:
Bitmap Font CreatorFontextJuicy FontsAll used by Blitz users.
I don't know, perhaps nothing, I think you know better then I do in this case.
It's a program I wrote by myself, mostly for myself, without knowledge of those programs. It's inspired by Logos I made in Amiga in DPaint. When it was done, I felt like sharing. So here it is. If you like it, use it, if not, don't.
In any case I checked out those programs. Maybe they contain something good as well.
---a bit later---
Ok, I looked at the other applications you mention.
I suppose BlockFontCreator is different in it's way that it renders font with texture, instead of shadowy or 3d or some other way.
Also, it comes with a blitz (and soon c++) library of rendering the resulting fonts.
