This is _really_ helpful. The program I used was not made for pixel art at all. This is so much easier!

Do you have a download/purchase for the font you created? It's really great and I'd love to use it.

I just wanted to say this is amazing and all your tutorials are the best tutorials I’ve ever seen, for anything ever. Like seriously amazing stuff, you’re an amazing teacher and communicator. Thank you for sharing this!!!

Finally !!!! Finally the tutorial I was looking for! Thank you very much! I wanted to make a pixel font for so long, now I can!

@silvia-narity 3 года назад

I've been looking everywhere how to make the font I made an actual font I can use in Unity for a lot of time now, and this is the only thing that worked! Thank you so much for making this video and just being awesome in general!

@animatrix1490 3 года назад

THANK YOU SO MUCH for making this tutorial; I kept coming back to it OVER AND OVER as I struggled with my fonts. If you're like me and you keep screwing up the fonts in the editor so that when you type like half of the letter is totally missing there are actually tooltips if you hover over stuff with your mouse. If you hover over the "Highlight glyphs under the mouse" checkbox near the top of the window it will give you the key for what the colors mean. I was pulling my hair out trying to figure this out so I hope that helps someone avoid the purgatory I've been experiencing for the past 2 hours

@morganlak4337 2 года назад

I really like your technique of just drawing a letter until it looks right and THEN determind the dimensions for each glyph. Makes a lot of sense!

@ryko1246 4 года назад

No wayyy! This is exactly what I was searching for and you judt went and posted it today! Mind blown! Thanks a lot!

@sosasees 3 года назад

Thanks very much! This tool was very helpful, because now came the time where I needed to make my own font for my game (even if it's just for Debug Text right now). It saved SO much time and gave me SO much freedom because I could use my usual Pixel Art program instead of a dedicated Pixel Font maker.

@DeathByPixelsVisuals 9 месяцев назад

@ektelion 4 года назад

First of all, thank you so much for this, using Aseprite to create fonts makes so much sense and I'm so happy that there actually is a way to do it! That said, I'm having some issues with this method, which however are language specific, so I'm not sure if you can help me. I've created a Greek font, saved it as ttf and installed it on Windows 10. I then proceeded to type something in MS Word using the font, but as soon as I start typing, it automatically reverts back to Calibri. Now, the weird thing is that if I type whatever I want, select the text and then select the font that I've created, it actually changes to the font and everything looks fine. So all in all, the goal is achieved, but I am quite perplexed by this weird behavior, so I was wondering if you've had similar issues yourself, since you are also using non-Latin characters. Thanks again!

@ellies_silly_zoo 2 года назад

I was using fontstruct until now and it was just _painful_ to be honest. I much much prefer using my normal image editor for fonts and being able to see all letters at once. Thank you so much!

@asthalis 2 года назад

Hello and thanks for this very useful video ! Yet, I have a problem with my handmade pixel font, and I had the same using BitFontMaker : all glyphs are fine when I use my font, except the apostrophe, which keeps its original shape and never switches to "pixel" version. Any idea of where it may come from ? It only happens with this character ('). Thanks if you can help !

@natelawrence 4 месяца назад

What is the recommended way to handle letters with accent marks on them in pixel fonts? I wanted a Final Fantasy (I) font to use in some Patreon credits and started making my own rip since the one I found online had some tracing mistakes in it. However, both Katakana and Hiragana have characters with accent marks above them which change their pronunciation. In the original game, both the dakuten ゛ and handakuten ゜ symbols each consume a full 8x8 tile on-screen and their tile is simply placed above one of the unaccented characters. Does this mean that all of my characters in my pixel font need to be 8px wide and 16px tall, even though most characters will have an empty top half? That feels like a very clunky way to handle the problem.

@Lukz243 4 года назад

what about some characters like ideograms?

@EkilGamer 3 месяца назад

Does the colour of the letters need to be black alone? Because I got a font which has black and Magenta letters.

Is this not supposed to be a vector font? I think that’s what I need, cuz it’s not working properly in the game I’m trying my font on. It works fine in Word 2003, at least, but it’s still a bummer...

@AlphaCollectorCZ 3 года назад

Great guide, however I have a question. I made white font with a black outline and it keeps just registering the outline as the actual font and the white fill (which is actually the font) shows as transparent. Is there any way to fix this?

@moncefsharp3999 3 года назад

put in your mind that font glyph is just shape with some informations, so the tool will draw the shape of the glyph as the black color

Helppp When i import my png, it shows white Boxes with letters in, even tho i havent made any kind of box, i just made the outlines Also, the First two Lines fit in perfectly, but the tile in the thrid line is one pixel offcenter, without any reason pls help my i cant find a solution

@hierkonnteihrewerbungstehe8008 2 года назад

Ok I found the solution (turn font color to black) BUT when i write it on the Website it works, anyways in word it only types the descend Pixels and not the whole letter

@minutesock9649 3 года назад

I'm struggling to get words not so close together. I used the ∎ character to denote a space like the website does by default. My font looks fine with everything except for spaces being too small even though the space is the same width as a normal character. Is there any kind of variable on the website to maybe make your spaces double wide? The monospace option is not what I'm looking for as that makes all of the characters spaced out in a block fashion.

@felipecesconettomartins2097 Год назад

im having the same issue here now, did you ever figure out how to fix that?

@minutesock9649 Год назад

@@felipecesconettomartins2097 To be honest, I can't remember what I did over a year ago. I know I messed around with the numbers until it looked better, although, my font is still not that great (it sits too high on the line), it gets the job done.

That's exactly, what i searched for, but sadly something in that little browser tool doesn't work. The text preview shows a default font instead of my own uploaded one and when i save it, the font doesn't work either. If someone knows, how to fix that, please tell me. :~)
