Raster Font Editor

Raster Font Editor is a tiny and portable piece of kit that you can use to create and personalize bitmap fonts for text documents and websites.

Since installation is not an issue, you can just drop the program files anywhere on the hard drive and run the executable file directly.

Otherwise, you can save Raster Font Editor to a USB flash drive or similar storage unit, and run it on any computer. Thus, you can keep the utility in your pocket whenever you're on the move.

More importantly, the app does not work with the Windows Registry section or leave files behind after program removal.

The app's interface is not well-organized, since you have to deal with multiple windows when working on a project. It is not particularly intuitive or visually appealing.

You can create a new alphabet by designing one character at a time, in an environment that reminds us of Paint's simplicity. Keeping track of progress is possible by previewing text and identifying missing characters.

The tool supplies the user with plenty of editable font details, whether we're talking about general properties, such as the face name, device or copyright, or more specific attributes, like the font family, character set, horizontal and vertical resolution, size and width.

Raster Font Editor is also capable of importing BMP, TTF and  DOS 8x16 font items. The project can be saved to file for further modifications, or compiled after establishing the binaries, working and output directories.

CPU and system memory are barely used during the app's runtime, so the computer's performance is maintained within normal levels. The tool has a good response time and is very stable. No error notifications have been shown in our tests and the program did not hang or crash. Until Raster Font Editor reevaluates the interface's shortcomings, its target audience shall remain users with some background in such utilities.
