FontBUILDER/Unicode FontBUILDER Screen Shot
FontBUILDER/UnicodeSE - Server Edition
FontBUILDER/Unicode™ is a comprehensive font programming toolkit for OEM, embedded and real-time applications needing multi-lingual Ascii and Unicode bitmap text.  FontBUILDER provides two main features: 1) a bitmap font generator that converts scaleable TrueType fonts into high-quality bitmap fonts at any size or resolution that you specify, and 2) a C/C++ callable API that allows your programs to read bitmap fonts then draw text into video frame buffers and system memory bitmaps.  FontBUILDER comes with integrated support for Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003, Metagraphics MetaWINDOW, Accelerated Technology Nucleus GRAFIX, plus also works compatibly with other third-party graphic programming tools.

Bitmap Font Generator

  • Converts scaleable TrueType fonts into high quality bitmap fonts at any size or resolution that you specify.
     
  • Multi-lingual - creates either 8-bit ASCII and 16-bit Unicode bitmap fonts.
     
  • Creates standard bitmap fonts compatible with Microsoft Windows CE .NET, Metagraphics MetaWINDOW, and Accelerated Technology Nucleus GRAFIX.
     
  • Outputs converted fonts either as binary bitmap font files (.fnt), or as C header files (.h) that can be compiled and linked directly into your program.
     
  • Supports "Mapfile" operation allowing you to selectively control which characters are processed into a bitmap font, or to merge characters from multiple TrueType fonts into a single bitmap font.
     
  • Supports command-line operation for automated font generation.
     
  • FontBUILDER/UnicodeSE Server Edition works with Microsoft Windows Server 2003.  (Available December 2004)
     
  • FontBUILDER/UnicodeWE Workstation Edition, runs with Microsoft Windows XP, 2000, NT4, ME, or 98.

Bitmap Text API

  • Provides a C/C++ API that reads bitmap fonts and processes ASCII/Unicode text for output to video frame buffers and system memory bitmaps.
     
  • Outputs to any standard bitmap format from 1 to 32 bits-per-pixel.
     
  • Supports both BitBLT (opaque) and TransBLT (transparent) pixel transfers.
     
  • Works with bitmap fonts stored either on disk, in memory or in ROM.
     
  • Includes integrated support for Microsoft Visual Studio .NET, Metagraphics MetaWINDOW, and Accelerated Technology Nucleus Graphics.  Also works compatibly with other third-party graphic programming tools, or can be used by itself.
     
  • FontBUILDER Reference Manual provides full details documenting bitmap file format and operation.
     
  • Royalty-Free application distribution!

FontBUILDERS's tight portable design makes it ideal for use in a wide variety of OEM products needing high-quality bitmap fonts and type.  Applications include real-time and embedded software applications, operating systems, medical instrumentation, handheld computers, personal digital assistants (PDA's), web browsers, multimedia servers, television set-top boxes, printer engines, Internet appliances, avionic displays, industrial controls, web applications and more.
