SpriteFont 2

• Pixel accurate character bitmaps
• Font and font style selection
• Solid color and bitmap brushes
• Solid color and bitmap outlines
• Drop shadow bitmap effect
• Outer glow bitmap effect
• Bevel bitmap effect
• Blur bitmap effect
• Emboss bitmap effect
• Output image formats: BMP, GIF, JPEG, PNG, TIFF, WMP
• Selection of exported characters
• Export font metrics (position and size of characters)
• Load and save configurations

• Add the created sprite font texture to your XNA project.
• Set the "Content Processor" property to "Sprite Font Texture".
• In your code use it like this:

  [LoadContent method]
  SpriteFont font = content.Load<SpriteFont>("MySpriteFontTextureAssetName");
  SpriteBatch batch = new SpriteBatch(GraphicsDevice);
  

  [Draw method]
  batch.DrawString(font, "Hello world!", new Vector2(20, 20), Color.White);
  

• Hint 1: Use the SpriteFont.Spacing property to control character spacing (use negative values when using drop shadow or outer glow).
• Hint 2: Save your textures in an image format that stores alpha values (like PNG). Otherwise transparency will not be handled correctly.
