Tool for manipulating Doom 3 and Doom 3 BFG Edition fonts. If you want to create fonts for Doom 3 BFG Edition or Rage you'll probably be better off with id Software's idFont tool from Rage.
This program is meant to help me port Doom 3 BFG font code to The Dark Mod. It works with cooperation with AngelCode's BMFont (http://www.angelcode.com/products/bmfont/).
Decomposing Doom 3 fonts is still an experimental feature.
This program has a simple GUI, but you can use it from command line too:
Usage:
BFGFontTool create-bfg --help
BFGFontTool decompose-d3 --help
BFGFontTool create-bfg options...
converts AngelCode BMFont's .fnt plain-text font descriptor into Doom 3 BFG Edition .dat font file
-h, --help show this message and exit
--bm, --bmfont=VALUE file name of the input BMFont (i.e. bm=ArialNarrow.fnt)
--bfg, --bfgfont=VALUE file name of the output BFG font (default: bfg=48.dat)
BFGFontTool decompose-d3 options...
decomposes Doom 3's .dat font into BMFont's character descriptions
-h, --help show this message and exit
--d3, --d3font=VALUE file name of the input Doom 3 .dat font (i.e. d3=fontimage_48.dat)
--d3texs=VALUE directory containing font's textures (files like: arial_0_48.dds)
--bmfc, --bmfconfig=VALUE file to which to append character descriptions (in BMFont's configuration file format) (default: myConf.bmfc)
--imgout[=VALUE] directory to which to write character images (default: bmfc file's directory)
--lang, --language, comma separated list of The Dark Mod's languages to use during font's conversion (default: all except russian)
available langs: czech,danish,dutch,english,french,german,hungarian,italian,polish,portuguese,slovak,spanish,russian
--remap, --remapdir=VALUE directory in which The Dark Mod's remap tables are (like: polish.map)
BFGFontTool requires ImageMagick to decompose Doom 3 fonts. As of this writing (09-09-2013) it uses Magick.NET-6.8.6.801-Q16-x64-net40-client and therefore you need to have corresponding ImageMagick package installed (ImageMagick-6.8.6-8-Q16-x86-dll.exe; hmmm... now I think about it shouldn't I install the x64 version?).
