PalmFontConv 1.30 alpha released

View this article as: [ xml / txt ]

People have been asking for FontBucket support in Plucker. I did the next best (but easier) thing. I added FontBucket support to the PalmFontConv tool chain. In fact, you can now take just about any Palm font collection that contains standard or FontBucket font resources (whether for FontHack or for FontBucket or for Plucker or for Fonts4OS5 or ...) and rip the fonts out of that into text readable files that can be used as inputs to toplucker.tcl. Just run ripfonts.tcl, select the font database, press Go!, and presto, you have a bunch of text files describing all the fonts, and the text files can be imported into PalmFontConv or edited first.

Note that you can now mix anti-aliased and non-anti-aliased fonts in one Plucker font package.

As usual, it's at palmfontconv.sf.net . And it's in alpha, so be careful.
