PocketMatrix

When creating a font using FontMaker that extends beyond the size of the FontMaker window, only the visible portion of the font is copied to the clipboard. The kerning marks are all there for the entire font, but only those pixels of the font characters visible in the window are copied. I'm running my desktop at 1600x1200 and can just barely get 10pt courier new to fit onscreen.

I'd really like to create a 48pt font using FontMaker, but I'll only get a handful of characters copied to the buffer. Is there something I'm missing, or is there a fix for this? I suppose I could try to debug the code to fix it, but I'd rather leave that as a last resort.

Thanks! -- GR

Go figure... sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I just created a 48pt courier new bold font and it worked perfectly. Prior to trying that font I tried a 10pt Agent Orange font and it stopped at exactly 1600 pixels - the size of my desktop. =/

It's a useful tool as-is, and we're all pretty appreciative of your supplying it with GapiDraw. I usually make my fonts by hand using PaintShop Pro (char - space - char - space ... then toss in kerning marks and clean up) but I thought I'd give FontMaker a go for the first time the other day. Note that with FontMaker I also found the kerning marks to be way off on larger fonts causing them end up being drawn overlapping.
