Description

I managed to get to 5.0 with this link https://www.raylibtech.com/rtexpacker/
It seems that it exports the same file, I think I had to edit it by hand to add the empty characters ? I do not remember.- changed the title

I think I see the issue...
Yes, I need the empty Glyphs because I use this function in RayLib:
// Load an Image font file (XNA style) Font LoadFontFromImage(Image image, Color key, int firstChar)@BurgerBob mmmh... I see, I created that function 12 years ago... probably it should be declared obsolete at this point, maybe change last function parameter by an array of codepoints... 🤔
I think it is quite convenient to be able to load a texture file as a font (using first char as 32) and it just works. Maybe It works well in my case because it is a pixel art font.
I could also put a list of codepoints next to each font file and integrate that in my asset building system, that would not be too complicated I guess ... :)
Hello,
It would be useful to be able to download older versions of the tool when you buy it.
Last version changed the behavior of font packing that makes it unusable to load it in raylib XNA style.
It does not generate empty characters when they are not in the font.
Example with Poco:
With 5.5:
