ResourceImporterImageFont

Inherits: ResourceImporter < RefCounted < Object

Imports a fixed-width bitmap font where all glyphs have the same width and height.

Description

This image-based workflow can be easier to use than ResourceImporterBMFont, but it requires all glyphs to have the same width and height. This makes ResourceImporterImageFont most suited to fixed-width fonts.

Property Descriptions

Rect2i character_margin = Rect2i(0, 0, 0, 0)

Margin applied around every imported glyph. If your font image contains guides (in the form of lines between glyphs) or if spacing between characters appears incorrect, try adjusting character_margin.


PackedStringArray character_ranges = PackedStringArray()

The character ranges to import from the font image. This is an array that maps each position on the image (in tile coordinates, not pixels). The font atlas is traversed from left to right and top to bottom. Characters can be specified with decimal numbers (127), hexadecimal numbers (0x007f) or between single quotes ('~'). Ranges can be specified with a hyphen between characters.

For instance, 0-127 (or 0x0000-0x007f) denotes the full ASCII range. As another example, ' '-'~' is equivalent to 32-127 and denotes the range of printable (visible) ASCII characters.

Make sure character_ranges doesn't exceed the number of columns * rows defined. Otherwise, the font will fail to import.


int columns = 1

Number of columns in the font image. See also rows.


bool compress = true

If true, uses lossless compression for the resulting font.


Array fallbacks = []

List of font fallbacks to use if a glyph isn't found in this bitmap font. Fonts at the beginning of the array are attempted first.


Rect2i image_margin = Rect2i(0, 0, 0, 0)

Margin to cut on the sides of the entire image. This can be used to cut parts of the image that contain attribution information or similar.


int rows = 1

Number of rows in the font image. See also columns.


int scaling_mode = 2

Font scaling mode.
