Bitmap Font Builder - Hot to use it?
« on: September 21, 2007, 05:52:39 PM »
Hi,everybody...
I'm creating a cartoon-style game,so the default font of Wme isn't so appropriate...I was trying to use this program,bitmap font builder,but i can't create my own font...
I mean...with this prog I create a bmp using Comic Sans MS font,but the problem is that i don't know how to define the parameters in the font script...can somebody explain it to me,please?
My bmp is 256 x 256...the default font script is like this:

FONT
{
  IMAGE = "fonts\outline_white.bmp"
  TRANSPARENT = 255,0,255
  COLUMNS = 32
  TILE_WIDTH = 12
  TILE_HEIGHT = 15
  AUTO_WIDTH = TRUE
}


How's my font script should look like?
Or else,where can I find some fonts for wme?

I don't think I'd describe it better than the docs already did...

Ehm....That was pretty simple....
Thanks a lot,Mnemonic...now everything looks great,in the game!I've got only a graphic problem....when I use wintermute,it keeps on giving me this error message,and I don't know what to do...if you can answer me here,it would be great...the message is:
"Error initializing accelerated renderer.Sticking back to software..."
What does it mean??Do I have to be worried?

It means the tools were unable to use 3D acceleration on your video card. It should be quite a rare occurrence these days, what video card are you using?

Try (re)installing latest forceware drivers. There's probably something wrong with your current setup. GF5200 should work just fine.
