Updates should be fairly regular for a while: Today I added support for • importing TrueType/OpenType fonts, including variable fonts. • kerning (with kerning groups too) and • improved export of Playdate .fnt files.

Introducing alphabit.studio! Built for creating and editing fonts for small screens, embedded devices, retro systems, and anywhere bitmap fonts still make the most sense. Import real formats, edit with proper pixel control, and export cleanly. Enjoy, and get in touch if you spot anything lacking.
