Ask HN: Software to Render Font to PNG
Long story short: I adapted a codebase from over 20 years ago that used bitmap fonts in this format [1], and I really like it because I use it in my 2D engine. Bitmap fonts are more efficient and don’t require memory allocation for new texts (yes, I could render all glyphs into memory and draw them the same way as bitmap fonts), but I think bitmap fonts offer more artistic freedom. I’d like to know if any of you know of a tool or software that can generate fonts similar to the one in the image below.

Thanks!
