Japanese Texture Font Generator from 2ch

[AJ 187]

I was watching 2ch today and found a link to an archive of source code containing a modified version of Texture Font Generator that created Japanese font pages. (in other words, I did not create this, the person who posted as >>52 and >>55 did; I just compiled it:)

Since I didn't see a link to any compiled version, I decided to compile it myself and share the results.

(both packages are for Windows only)
Binary
Source

Now for the highlights:
* Supports the default Japanese main, extra, and kanji 1-6 pages
* foonmix2 Compatible Font, adding kanji 7-9, symbol, kanji-regular, kanji-jis1, and kanji-jis2

Operation is mainly the same as normal Texture Font Generator. This version will not generate the normal ASCII font page, as that's already handled by the normal Texture Font Generator. foonmix2 Compatible Font option replaces "Numbers Only" from the original.

Why MOST letters in some fonts get rotated 90º ? As you can see in the following pic, characters like the parenthesis, the dots and { } aren't changed.

EDIT: argh, too bad that Antialiasing doesn't work with all fonts (amazingly, it doesn't work with Arial Unicode MS). Plus, the fonts that get rotated are the ones that are listed with an @ before their name (example: DFPOP-SB)

That's correct, fonts with an '@' at front of their name means that the glyphs are rotated in order to display them vertically. What you want to do is to find the name of that same font in the font list, but without the '@'.

LOL, you're right. I though they would appear once in the list.

nope

this happened in the original texture font gen as well.
