Here is how a bitmap font looks like: In addition to a texture like this, there is also an xml-file that describes which character can be found at which position in the image, and other information.

I’ve subsequenty lost interest in the project, but I learned some handy things in the process of becoming bored. Msdf-bmfont-xml Converts a.ttf font file into multichannel signed distance fields, then outputs packed spritesheets and a xml (.fnt or json representation of an AngelCode BMfont. Signed distance fields are a method of reproducing vector shapes from a texture representation, popularized in this paper by Valve.
Almost any game will have to display some text sooner or later. Sparrow makes it easy to do so:
There are quite a number of different fonts already available on the iPhone. Click on the following image to get a bigger view of the fonts and their names.
When you create a textfield in the way shown above, Sparrow asks Cocoa to render the text to a bitmap. The bitmap is then used as a texture, just like any other image.
Creating this texture is relatively fast, and once it is created, the textfield will be rendered very quickly - it’s just an image, after all.
However, there are times where this method is not perfect, e.g.:
*when you need different fonts than those installed on the iPhone, or fonts with fancy effects
*when you need to change the text of a textfield very often, and constantly creating new textures turns out to be too slow

In addition to a texture like this, there is also an xml-file that describes which character can be found at which position in the image, and other information.
To create a bitmap font, we recommend one of the following tools:
*Bitmap Font Generator by AngelCode (Windows only)
*Hiero by CokeAndCode
*Update (2011/06):Glyph Designer.
The tool from AngelCode has more options, but is only available in Windows. When you use it, export the font data in XML format, and the texture as a png with white characters on a transparent background (32 bit).
The second tool works in any operating system (it’s a Java application), but does not create the XML format that Sparrow requires. So you need to convert its output before being able to use it in Sparrow. For this reason, we created another small Ruby script (“hiero2sparrow.rb”) that does the conversion for you. Like the texture atlas converter, you have to get it via subversion for now, as it’s not part of the 0.7 release of Sparrow.
Now, let’s say you created your bitmap font - that means you have 2 files: “myfont.fnt” and “myfont.png”. Using this bitmap font is a little complicated. No, just kidding ;-). It could not be easier:
That’s it! When you register the bitmap font like this, you can use it just like any other font. Just set the “font”-property of a textfield to the name of the font (if you are unsure, find the “face”-attribute in the “.fnt”-file, or examine the NSString-object that is returned by the ’registerBitmapFontFromFile:’-method).
For even more speed, you can add the font image to your texture atlas, as well. In that case, you have to register the font the following way:
That should be all you need to know about bitmap fonts!
Setting up high-quality font rendering in a memory-constrained embedded system sounds like it would be hard. However, like many other problems in embedded systems, this one has pretty much already been solved by game developers. It turns out that getting proper font rendering, with kerning and all, can easily be done in a day’s work.
The game development communities are actually a great place to look for a lot of algorithms. Anything with graphics (even simple things like fonts), geometry/spatial algorithms (collision detection/prediction), or physical simulations have all gotten a lot of attention from the game developers. And their solutions are often mindful of memory and realtime constrains, which are of particular interest in embedded systems.
My particular use case is rendering text to a tiny black and white display (smaller than 150×50) in a resource-constrained environment (32k of RAM total) written in C.1. Generate Bitmap Font
A google search for “bitmap font generator” turns up quite a few things. I tried out these:
Both worked pretty well for my purposes, since they were relatively simple, open source, and supported proper kerning.
To use them, feed in a TrueType font and a set of characters from that font you want to use. The generator outputs a png containing graphics of all the characters and a datafile (usually in xml) that specifies the bounding box of each character in the image and placement/kerning information for the characters.
Date Picker for Excel inserts a pop-up calendar into Microsoft Excel. It works like a drop-down calendar, offering a handy date selector. As long as the date picker app is running, it activates the pop-up calendar in all the Excel files you open. It does not require you to insert an additional control into any particular Excel. In Excel 2010 it was quite easy for me to populate a date cell using the MonthView Contol I think from Microsoft Windows Common Controls 6.0. Windows10 64bit. I am looking for the Calendar Control that should be an Additional Control in the ToolBox. Microsoft monthview control 6 0 excel 2010 download. Office 2010 suites include applications such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook. They’re available as a one-time purchase for use on a single PC. Microsoft 365 plans include premium versions of these applications plus other services that are enabled over the internet, including online storage with OneDrive and Skype minutes for home use. I would recommend not to use monthview control. You may use this alternative. If you still want to use the monthview control then see this. The MonthView1 controls return a string value which can be accessed by MonthView1.Value. And once you have the string value, you can convert that to a date value by using CDate For example.2. Convert the Image FormatBitmap Font Maker
A .png image is too heavy duty for my use case. I need a format that’s more easily used on my platform. ImageMagick is a convenient tool to convert from .png to a simpler binary form.
Older X11 image formats (such as: .xdm, .pdm, .xpm) are particularly convenient for systems written in C, especially .xdm and .xpm as you can just #include them. For other binary formats, I can use xxd -i to convert to a C “header file” format that I can just #include into my project and then parse manually.Bitmap Font Generator Xml Validator3. Convert Placement/Kerning DataBitmap Font Generator Xml Tutorial
For the extra placement/kerning data, you can either parse the .xml output or, since they are open source, just add a custom exporter to FontBuilder/UBFG. The .xml output looks something like this:
Which I converted to C switch statements that look something like this:
I then did something similar for kerning pairs:
See full list on beebom.com. The nice thing about using a switch statement here is that the compiler is generally quite good about converting it to a mishmash of lookup tables and binary search and producing a well optimized result.4. Draw the Text!Bitmap Font Tool

Then we can do:

Not too bad for a tiny monochrome display :)
