- | FantomXR discovered some software that can be of great help when creating fonts,... (Thank you very much!). | ||
- | |||
- | === Knobman === | ||
- | |||
- | With this software you can easily generate stacked knob/bar images. After you´re done, just cut the individual step images and paste them in your Gimp image.\\ | ||
- | Just remember to use only black and white. Also, in the "effects" tab, you should disable "Antialiasing". Otherwise your black knobs will have gray transitions. | ||

- | === Bitmap Font Builder === | ||
- | |||
- | This is very helpful to create LCD compatible fonts. Just choose a font you like and it gets transformed and displayed. Save it as a *.bmp file and import the whole image into your Gimp image. | ||
