I think he’s talking about the program you use to create font for blender’s game engine.

-In this link you can find an exe version of ftpblender:

http://aromari.supereva.it/ftblender.zip

-How to use it ?
1-Put the exe file in the blender folder.
2-Put the ttf font file in the blender folder
3-Open the blend file included in the zip
4-Press Alt+P over the script
5-Press F2 to save the font as tga

i get an error in python…

“no module names os”

You’d normally have to have a full python installation to use it. But you can download my FMV-ed util from my website and put all the .py files into the blender exe directory. It should work fine after that.

why not use it on the cmdline?

I have a .bat file set up that has something like (without line breaks)

ftblender -o F:\ftblender\centryGothic.tga -x 512 -y 512 ppem C:\Windows\Fonts\GOTHIC.TTF

hit f1 when ftblender is running for more options, and keys that will aide in your endeavor.

i am sorry to keep bothering you guys…
extracting the py files to the blender map works fine. The font i wanted to convert however doesn’t seem to work. Does it have to be an OPEN TYPE - ttf, i made one in Coreldraw 10, and it’s a TRUE TYPE - ttf.

As far as I know know all truetype fonts work but I maybe wrong…
