GameMaker (GMS2) Font Texturepage Generator

This font editor is tailor-made for GameMaker Studio 2, allowing extensive customization of game fonts. It exports texture pages and updates the font's YY data file for optimal text display in games.

Supports OTF and TTF font formats.

• Effects:
  • Outline Effect: Adds an outline to the glyphs with customizable distance, color, and alpha.
  • Shadow Effect: Adds a shadow to the glyphs with settings for softness, offsets, color, and alpha.
  • Glyph Body Gradient Effect: Creates a gradient effect on the glyphs themselves.
  • Outline Gradient Effect: Applies a gradient to the outline.
• Draw Settings:
  • Surface Size: Sets the canvas size for the font texture page.
  • Symbols Pair Spacing: Adjusts the space between pairs of characters (in text_draw).
  • Symbols Spacing (Horizontal & Vertical): Sets the individual character spacing horizontally and vertically.
  • Symbols Edge Offset: Determines the offset of characters from the edge of the canvas.
  • Font Size: Allows you to set the size of the font.
• Glyph Body Settings:
  • Thickness: Adjusts the weight of the font glyphs.
  • Color: Sets the color of the glyphs.
  • Alpha: Controls the opacity of the glyphs.
  • SDF Spread Size: Adjusts the spread size of the Signed Distance Field (useful for smooth scaling of font).
    
• Project Management:
  • Save/Select Options for Font Tests: Provides options to save or select various font test configurations.
  • Refresh: Button to refresh the project view.
  • Open Font/Project: Buttons to open existing font files or projects.

This is intended for older versions of GMS2 which lack a full SDF feature. However, it can also be utilized with newer versions for optimized rendering of font effects.

• Planned Future Updates for the Tool:
  • Preset saving for text generation.
  • Reset button for quick setting reversion.
  • Font preservation as a local package.
  • Enhanced font size resizing optimization.
  • Adjustable shadow sizing for text.
  • Custom user interface replacing GMS2 debug elements.
