FontCapture is a development tool which allows users to convert TrueType and BDF font files into the native font format required internally by the PEG software libraries. The output of FontCapture is a PegFont in either a 'C' source file format to be compiled and linked with your application or in binary file format for those targets that have file system support on the embedded target. When source files are generated, these files are simply compiled and linked with your own application modules. Regardless of the font format, you can always associate any number of custom fonts with any PEG control type which displays string data.
The PEG libraries support several font formats produced by FontCapture. These include the smallest size binary fonts, a unique outlined font format, and a superior visual quality anti-aliased font format. Each of these formats are produced by FontCapture, and utilized within the PEG libraries without any intervention by the system developer.
FontCapture also includes a complete character editor allowing the user to customize individual characters of the generated font as well as tailor metrics and layout for the complete font. Unicode character mapping and multi-page fonts containing thousands of characters are supported. FontCapture is available for Windows, Linux/X11, and Solaris hosts.
