FontBUILDER/Unicode™ is a bitmap font programming toolkit for OEM, embedded and real-time applications needing multi-lingual Ascii and Unicode bitmap text. FontBUILDER provides two key components: 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, and draw text into video frame buffers and system memory bitmaps. FontBUILDER comes with integrated support for Metagraphics MetaWINDOW and ATI Nucleus GRAFIX, works compatibly with other third-party graphic programming tools, or can also be used by itself.
