Allegro Font Editor is a bitmap editor specialized for editing fonts that can be used with the Allegro game programming library. It can import fonts of various formats and export a font bitmap ready to be used by the Allegro Grabber tool. Here's how the program looks like.
BitFonter isn’t limited to black-and-white! With the Photofont intermediate format and the new Color OpenType font format extensions, you can create full-color fonts with transparency, and use them on the web and in print! Imagine computer letters with true calligraphic expression, visible brush strokes and paper structure — a new dimension in the field of typography.
To create Color OpenType fonts, export the font as Photofont PHF, then open the PHF file in TransType or FontLab VI, and export a Color OpenType font in the SVG, sbix or CBDT flavor. Finally, use the Color OpenType font in Adobe CC apps, web browsers or in our free FontLab Pad app!
You can also export a color bitmap font into a monochrome Outline Pixelfont: BitFonter will halftone your pixels using vector squares, circles, lines or luminance-based shapes, and export outline-based VFB font that you can open in FontLab VI, Fontographer or TypeTool to produce a final monochrome OpenType font that approximates your bitmap design with scalable outlines. To achieve this, turn on Tools > Options > Outline Font Editor, turn on Export outline font into VFB file, and choose Font > Export > Outline Font or Outline Pixelfont.
