Original Source Code

BRFNTify is a tool that can edit .brfnt files. It has support for importing/exporting images, as well as viewing the .brfnt files. You can edit values related to the font characters, and change what character in the font is tied to which character on the keyboard (for example, having numbers 0-9 tied to the keyboard numbers).

Changelog

2022.08.08.0 (August 8, 2022)

Text Preview renders can now be exported to .png from the right-click menu.

Little-endian .brfnt files, which can be found in Super Mario 3D All-Stars Super Mario Galaxy, are now fully supported.

Various build system updates.


Many bugfixes, such as ones affecting:

I4 texture decoding.

Widgets for global font properties, which were previously non-functional.

Character encodings.

The height of the Text Preview box.

The main window title.

Some fonts with unusual properties.


2021.01.10.0 (January 10, 2021)

Each release will now include 32-bit Windows builds, in addition to the 64-bit ones.

Fixed a bug that could prevent BRFNTify Next from running properly in some situations (such as when launching from the Start Menu on Windows).


2020.10.26.0 (October 27, 2020)

New features: "File --> Export as Image" and "File --> Import from Image", to export/import all glyphs in the font simultaneously as one large .png.

Release builds for macOS now support system-wide dark mode. This unfortunately required dropping support in the release builds for macOS older than 10.13 (High Sierra). You can still run BRFNTify Next from source code on older macOS versions, though.

You can no longer Save or Save As when no tileset is open (this used to result in a crash).

Release builds now use Python 3.9.

Implemented a new technique to shrink download sizes. Windows builds are now ~38% smaller compared to the previous release, and Ubuntu builds are ~13% smaller. macOS is unfortunately not affected.


2020.05.31.0 (May 31, 2020)

New release using a new CI setup (copied from Reggie-Updated and Puzzle-Updated). A lot has changed since the last release, but the most important is that saving works now!
