This program will allow you to make some very nice vector fonts for use with OpenGL. There are some pretty nice features to see and the program is very tiny.

The program can export files directly into an includable .bmx file for your project. I've also included a small demo that has a basic text drawing function.

Please tell me what you think. I've worked very hard on this project! Hit f2 for help.

Nice work -- might be worth seeing if klepto2 can integrate it as part of the extended MiniB3D project. Would be nice to have vector fonts in that. DBF&GVY FTW!

Get this going for DirectX and OpenGL and things got alot more interesting. ;)

Well thanks. The exporter could be worked on a bit. I assume the geometry would stay the same so it could be exported in many different languages. I'll probably do slightly more work on this. I'd like to hear if anyone uses it.

If DirectX uses display lists I think I could write an exporter, it all depends on how much they are different.
