Hi everyone, I've been working on a game in Unity, using a regular pixel text with outlines. I was wondering if anyone knows if there's a software/app/etc which can help convert them into TTF fonts?

I've done a whole lot of this in FontForge.

Hints it took me forever to find online: You need to dump the image font to individual images, scale up the images to at least 500X500 for clean scans, and then apply 'autotrace.'

It's super tedious, but very doable.

I hope for your sake some new tool has come along since I last went hunting :)

you can interoperate fontforge with inkscape - inkscape is a lot easier to draw rectangles than fontforge, and then use fontforge for pasting the glyphs made on inkscape, organizing the typeface and generating it
