Font 2 PNG v0.4

This is probably in my series of useless apps, but some time ago I made a little app, that converts a font file (eg. ttf) to png-file. I made this app for Monkey X apps to use ttf-fonts as png with Monkey X's DrawImageRect command. I noticed later in Monkey X forums, that there is a better way of using ttf fonts in Monkey X apps. I really should find time to read these forums... :-) In the package there's little Monkey X code included that uses the dat-file generated by Font 2 PNG (the dat file is for the DrawImageRect command). But as said, this is probably quite useless app. Anyway it was made in BlitzMax. Link.

Thanks :)

Thanks ! What was the 'better' method in Monkey ?

This forum topic discusses using true type fonts in Monkey X. These both ways of using true type fonts in Monkey X are using of bitmap fonts, though. I'm glad if my app isn't totally useless. :-) I could make a better version of it later.

Why must it have a pup.proinstall (false positive?). :( I could use this ATM. :)

I made for a limited time a zip-archive for the app. Especially made for Blitz users. :-) Link (direct link to .zip)
