If the functionality you’re looking for is being able to easily create monochrome bitmap fonts for LCD or LED, then you need to take a look at BitFontCreator Pro. Developed by Iseatech Workgroup, you can use this professional font creator tool to create a C file of the font you choose, file that you can use for your embedded project.

The BitFontCreator Pro installation file is only 1.5MB; at such a lightweight download size, it will take but a moment to get it onto your computer. The setup wizard that shows up when you run the file is a straightforward one; click through it to get the installation process done (also in little time). The application can be installed on anything from Windows NT and 2000 onward.

The classic File menu is exactly where you would expect it to be on the interface – at the top. To the left there are buttons for various functions, next to them, to the right there’s a Character Editor window, and next to it there’s the Characters Table window. The sort of functionality BitFontCreator Pro offers is not meant for the novice user; and the user who knows how to take advantage of what BitFontCreator Pro offers will not have any problems with the interface.

As mentioned above, BitFontCreator Pro is a pro font creator tool you can use to create monochrome bitmap fonts. To achieve this goal you will have to go through 5 steps (which are conveniently displayed on the application’s interface, beneath the File menu).

Importing one of the fonts installed on your PC is the first step. BitFontCreator Pro is so eager to get started that will prompt you to do this immediately after you launch the application. Step two is to edit the characters table. The characters are displayed in the Characters Table window to the right; you can click Edit Table from the bottom right hand corner or the Step 2 button from the upper left hand corner to edit the characters table. Step 3 is to change the font height. The penultimate step, step 4, is to configure the data format. And the final step is to export your creation, the bitmap data you worked on. You can export it as a C, ASM, or binary file (.c, .asm, .dat).

Please note that BitFontCreator Pro is only free to try. The demo version, which you can use for free for a trial period of 15 days, will not generate a useable output file. Register the application to get rid of this limitation. You should also note that BitFontCreator Pro is the Unicode Edition; there is a second version, BitFontCreator Latin Edition.

Apart from the functionality, the ease of use of this professional font creator tool stands out.

Pros

It will take little time to download and install BitFontCreator Pro. Creating fonts is a simple 5-step process. Use this pro font creator tool to come up with monochrome bitmap fonts. Export bitmap data as a C, ASM, or binary file.

Cons

Free to use for a 15-day trial; the trial will not generate a useable output file.
