Hey
I’m looking for a blender font utility that seems to exist… it can be used to convert fonts to bitmap font that can be used in blender…
I searched the forums for it and it seems that Ben has it but he’s not replying…
so I was wondering if anyone else has it and if this is worth the trouble: i.e: what can I actually do with it…
Thanks a lot,
Carl
I found it once… not too long ago…
well, the version I dl-ed was a windoze one, and was linked to in the miorred comments of a font making tutorial
I think it was called ftblender or something
what I really wanted to say was that it is possible to modify fonts so that they have and alpha channel… think black text instead of white…
I used psp, made the luminance of where the text (below the what I assume as important information at the top) as the alpha channel, painted the text black (If I had painted it white I could use the object or vertex color to set the color in gameBlender), and saved as a targa…
Stilll looking

It took me some time to figure out how to get it to work. Mostly I just played with the size, and I think F1 puts on the screen some useful information as well
good luck
-I send it to you some days ago when received your private message.
I used the e-mail address you had written in that message .
Thanks everyone for the replies,
Sorry Ben
I didn’t know, I must have accidentally deleted the message in my mailbox…
I found it now on the websites mentioned above, but I get three files…
makefile
ftpblender.c
and a license
how do I get this to work?
thanks…
Carl
-I send the e-mail again.I’ve explained how to use it.
