Looking for something.. - JokeofWeek - 13-08-2009
Hey guys
I remember a long time ago I had found a tool on here that would basically let you make a texture-sized bitmap of any font, which is incredibly useful for DirectX 8. Does anyone happen to have the link to that utility or something similar? Re: Looking for something.. - grimsk8ter11 - 13-08-2009

Hmm, that one looks pretty good, although the one I am looking for made a bitmap of the font to fit in a 256x256 texture, with each character in that font also in order so that you could easily use it. It had a GUI interface, and I'm pretty sure it was posted here.
It was literally like, enter the font and the font size, and it made a bitmap for you.
Thank you though Grim

Sorry for the double post, but I found the tool I was looking for, so if anyone else wants a tool that does this :

Very useful for making a bitmap file for the font that you can make a texture of in DX8, since DX8 text rendering is awful
