Version 1.0.2

BitsyTTF
A browser tool made in HTML5

Just a small update to address some issues I’ve noticed while using this tool myself.

A fundamental assumption I made while initially developing this was that the size of the font would necessarily equal its max dimension. As it turns out, that’s not the case. Trying to fix this issue without testing that assumption led to a lot of frustration; I was always fighting between cutoff on top or bad spacing on the bottom. Hopefully at this point all that is behind us.

Changelog:

  • Improved font creation performance by processing bitmaps entirely on the CPU
  • Added some practical hints to the configuration controls
  • Fonts can now be dropped onto the preview pane even if a font is currently loaded
  • Text in the preview pane should now match the appearance of the font in bitsy
