Hello,

I'm getting a bug with 1.3 and 1.4 beta of Bitmap Font Creator:

My font ("Batang") renders nicely with white on black, or with alpha, exports to .png is totally okay.

But when I select the export option [x] "Pack chars in multiple channels", I get a picture with every pixel = (1,1,1,1) or (0,0,0,0).

I've tested many different other options together with it.

What I would expect to see: A very colorful image seemingly consisting of random colors (every of the 4 image channels populated with glyphs).

Of course,

Here are the latest three test configurations:

http://www.lostplanets.de/files/fonttest_configuration_12c.bmfc

I wonder what I did wrong. Noob I am. :)

<Edit>

When I set 2048 x 2048 I get the same. The 4096 x 4096 is of course too large - the first channel (red) would have all glyphs.

Okay, I inspected the color channels in GIMP again, but with a different technique.

R,G,B are indeed populated 100%, 100%, 64%. Only Alpha is not populated (0%).

That's exactly what I expected. GIMP just tricked me, because it worked not like I expected it to work.

2nd (minor issue, but would be nice too)

The option with alpha=one, red=glyph, green=glyph, blue=glyph doesn't work as expected.

I tried this because I wanted to see the result with a simple image viewer.

No, this is all about multi channel glyphing. :-)

I expected 'random' colors and alpha channel = 1. But all the channels seem to have = 1.

Btw, thanks for your swift replies.
