    Great tool if you're looking for a bitmap font editor. Even works with the html5 Phaser 3 engine using the Sparrow/Starling format!

    I chose this over Glyph Designer because it did what I needed for 1/4 of the price. I am using it to design bitmap fonts for a Corona SDK app and it works great. The only problem I've had is that sometimes when I change the "File Name" field on the Publish screen, the change doesn't stick and I have to open the file in a text editor to change the value.

  • Good font tool; worthy competitor to Glyph Designer though with some room for improvement

    Couple of things would like to see better: 1) The biggest need for improvement is a more determinate handling of the actual characters in the current texture, enabling users to _toggle_ character sets, not just "add" them. This would allow users to, in one-click, to add _or remove_ an entire character set. Any custom characters added manually, outside of selected character sets, could be simply grouped under a Custom Entries button to toggle. Otherwise, just try to use this app 1 week after adding 10 character sets and see if you can remember which characters were added previously just by looking. GOOD LUCK!! :) 2) the 'Select a character set' dialog is just terrible, here's why: a) It uses odd, unconventional naming of character sets -- why not use the same as Apple? That's what we users are used to, so don't try to be all different and special there, just do what users expect. b) None of the character sets have any additional country information, so you basically have to become expert in all the various languages around the world to know that Japanese language characters are called something else in the app. c) There are over 40 character set entries and yet there's no search? (!) d) Entries are not sorted alphabetically; with that many entries, there needs to be _SOME_ form of organization to be useful. So combine a) b), c) & d) and yeah GOOD LUCK finding what you need! As-is requires constant scrolling, trying to decipher the unconventional naming of character sets… Clearly the list needs work! :) 3) Last thing, though minor, the icons, color choices for the inspector views, and overall look & feel are just awful; what is this, Windows 3.1? Please update the appearance for this century, thanks :( Other than those bits for improvement, good tool; gets the job done!

  • Must have tool for Unity 3D

    Great app. Worth the $10. I'm an iOS developer and this is exactly what I needed to use for my apps. One of very few apps I actually went out of my way to write a review for and as a fellow developer I appreciate the work you put into it.

  • Excellent font tool

    bmGlyph takes all the hassle out of decorating and rasterizing fonts. The app receives regular updates and the developer is quick to respond to support questions and bug reports.

  • Great!
