bmfgen - Bitmapfont generator tool for the BMF_font bitmap font library - v1.01
===============================================================================

This tool can be used to convert a TrueType font to a font texture file
that can be used with the BMF_font library.

This tool and the BMF_font library are both available at:
    http://trenki.50free.org/

The application uses the SDL and SDL_ttf library. To be able to run it
you need to place the DLL files into the executables directory.
The SDL and SDL_ttf library are available at http://www.libsdl.org/ . 

Features:
  - Convert any TrueType font you want to use in your OpenGL application
  - Texture size of output file can be specified
  - RLE encoding/decoding for small files (2048x1024 texture -> ~21KB)

  - v1.01 now also supports the extended ASCII characters (option : -ext-charset)
  - files are now always written in little endian regardles of the host machine
    endiannes.
  

I used MinGW under Windows to develop the application.
To create an executable you only need to type make. For users of Linux
or other compilers some changes may be necessary.

The application is released under the GNU LGPL license,
see the file "LICENSE.TXT" for details.

Enjoy!
