Glyph explorer tool for renpy

in game •  5 years ago 

Need a fast icon for that button you want to put in the game?
Wonder which languages the font you've chosen can support?
Curious what characters your font have?

The "glyph explorer" is here to help. Well I should confess: it's the same thing as "windows character map" but it has few pros and one con.

pros:

  • You don't have to install and search for your font, it shows the glyphs for the default font of your game. (you can choose the font if you want)
  • It shows how the glyphs look in your game.
  • It shows them big. The main reason I wrote it was: I had trouble seeing the glyphs on "windows character map"
  • it shows them in pages. No more losing where you where in the scrolling.
  • It only shows the glyphs you can use in your game. Ren'py is built on narrow python build and is has a limit on the Unicode character.

cons:

  • It shows empty glyphs as well, I couldn't find an easy way to filter out the glyphs that don't have a character in them so, there will be lots of pages with them.
