I want to get into Font Editing
« on: March 27, 2017, 09:31:09 pm »
What do I need to know?
Spacing and Size?

The interfaces section lists Colors but I dont know what they correspond to, I tried checking the palette indexes with the colors listed but it didnt seem to match.

Do the (6?) colors on the Font images themselves just map from a starting color that gets indicated in interfaces or do they each have to be mapped?

Im wanting to create custom fonts based on ttf fonts (tailored to fit/style), and also a small font for regular text which is only 4-5 pixels wide (using smooshed up anti-aliasing magic that only I know).

I tried getting into doing font editing for zdoom and nobody gave any good info on it so I didnt get into it. But fonts are a love of mine and I want to improve the xcom ones.
