Sprite Font Builder is a completely free application as it was built in my spare time as a way to learn Qt. Hopefully everything is good, but you never know! Download As it only really works with it’s own files, the risk of using this software is low (if it saves a corrupt file, hey ho - it’s not the end of the world).

It might have bugs which cause it to not work properly on your system. For example, using light and dark inner shadows you can emulate 3D / embossed characters and with over-layed gradient inset fills that fade to transparent to make a cartoony shine effect in the inner section of each character.įirst Release Disclaimer: This is the first release of this software. Sprite Font Builder currently supports Fill (Solid, Gradient and Pattern), Shadow (Inner and Outer) and Stroke (Inner, Centred, Outer) effects and along with a variety of blend modes, opacity sliders and settings you can generate fairly complicated bitmap fonts. The unique-selling point for this Sprite Font Builder is the ability to add any number of FX layers to your sprite font so that you can create fancy fonts that look similar to images built using ‘Photoshop FX Layers’ - except the effect is applied to each glyph individually, instead of the whole image layer. I built this application to properly get to know Qt before embarking on a more complicated project but I also wanted to make sure that it stood out from the crowd of other Bitmap Font generators.
