Fonts and Symbols as C-source code

Convert vector fonts to raster fonts.

• Convert Windows fonts and texts to C-source code fonts.
• Create proportional or mono-spaced raster fonts and save as C-source code.
• Convert pictures and images to C-source code symbols.
  
  

Fast and easy C-source code font generation from Windows fonts

Start IconEdit:

Input height and the name of the target font.

Choose Master Font:

Choose a look:

Create a basic new font:

Add languages in the tick boxes.

Save as C-source code.

Convert many Input Formats to the same C-source code format for the Graphic User Interface

IconEdit can convert fonts and images to a general human-readable C-source code format:

Import fonts, texts, and images from many sources and convert them all to the same general data format with IconEdit:

• Convert True Type and Open Type vector fonts already installed in Windows to black & white, gray-tone anti-alias, or color fonts.
• Convert Glyph Bitmap Distribution Format (BDF) pixel fonts to black & white symbol fonts.
• Convert Texts in any language to text optimized fonts with only the characters in the text.
• Find and convert Text strings from C code text catalogs to text optimized fonts with only the characters in the text strings.
• Convert Pictures and images to symbols or symbol groups with full or reduced color and pixel resolution. Symbol groups are ideal for animation.
  
  

C-source code portability

Save fonts, symbols, and groups of symbols in a general human-readable C-source code format:

• All RAMTEX Color and B&W display controller driver libraries support the same basic symbol and font C-source code format. This makes fonts and symbols portable across display controller types and target hardware.
• B&W (two-color) symbols are compatible with both B&W and Color display driver libraries.
• Gray-level symbols and anti-aliased fonts are compatible with Color display driver libraries.
• RGB Color symbols are compatible with RGB Color libraries. IconEdit can convert the symbols to gray for use with Gray-level libraries.
  
  
  

Other editing and conversion functions

Save Fonts and Symbols as C-source code. Convert vector fonts to raster fonts. Convert fonts and images to c-source format.

International Fonts for multiple languages. Create text optimized fonts for many languages. Select necessary languages directly.

Creating ROM Optimized Fonts and Symbols. Achieve significant ROM savings for alphabets with a very large number of characters.

Middle Eastern and South Asian fonts. Special support for right to left alphabets on simple left to right display systems.

C string pre-processor for Emoji and Asian texts. The preprocessor is an input and output text string converter inside IconEdit. The preprocessor finds the C strings in text catalogs and makes fonts.

Color Optimization of Characters and Symbols. Find the right balance between color resolution and memory size.

Graphic drawing and image conversion. See and edit icons, characters, and fonts with exactly the same pixel and color resolution as used by the real display module in the target system.

Start working before you make your own fonts. Save start-up time by using existing to C-source code fonts.

Start working before you buy a license. All symbol, font, and text-string data can be saved in one or more project files.
