"PixelFont" is an all-in-one tool for creating TrueType outline fonts from bitmap glyph data.
"PixelFont" implements a subset of the OpenType specification, purely in Elixir programming language.
- Builds full-featured font files which can be used in serious places.
- Generates optimal pixelated TrueType outlines based on 1bpp bitmap images.
- Supports creating fonts with OpenType advanced typographic features, namely GPOS and GSUB.
- Provides DSL and data structures for defining...
- Font metadata,
- TrueType outline glyphs based on bitmap image,
- Composite glyphs (maximum depth of 1 for now),
- And a subset of GPOS and GSUB lookups.
If you are in doubt, see The NeoDunggeunmo Project.
- Write some documentations and tests.
- Implement more GPOS and GSUB lookup subtables.
- Wrap all the struct craziness with Elixir DSL. Specifically, provide user experience somewhat similar to using GUI-based font development software... via Elixir DSL. (Good luck!)
