Almost any game will have to display some text sooner or later. Sparrow makes it easy to do so:

There are quite a number of different fonts already available on the iPhone. Click on the following image to get a bigger view of the fonts and their names.

When you create a textfield in the way shown above, Sparrow asks Cocoa to render the text to a bitmap. The bitmap is then used as a texture, just like any other image.

Creating this texture is relatively fast, and once it is created, the textfield will be rendered very quickly — it's just an image, after all.

However, there are times where this method is not perfect, e.g.:

Maketext.io is the modern cool text generator that empowers SVG filters and 800+ open-font-licensed web fonts. While there are already numerous similar websites around, we handcrafted maketext.io with following guideline in mind. For every fancy text effect, we provide both SVG and PNG format for you to download. Since SVG is well-prepared. Fancy Bitmap Font Generator. This program is an utility for Game Developers. While specifically designed for XNA developers to quickly add nice sprite fonts to their games. Once you have generated a font from this piece of software, you will be presented with a large image that represents the sprite font texture. In this example, we load PNG text written in Bungee Shade font that says 'New York City' in the input field and create transparent text from it by removing its background. To make the background transparent, we specify the hexadecimal color code 'FFFFFF', which corresponds to the white color in the options.

PNGs are bitmaps, but the fonts are generally vector shapes. The bitmap fonts still exist, but they have fixed sizes, an attempt to scale makes them messy. PNGs are convertible to vector drawings, but the accuracy is often poor. Actually the accuracy is 100%, but in bitmap there simply does not exists all the information on what you have thought.

• when you need different fonts than those installed on the iPhone, or fonts with fancy effects
• when you need to change the text of a textfield very often, and constantly creating new textures turns out to be too slow

That's what bitmap fonts are for. A bitmap font is very similar to a texture atlas (see last article), only that it contains characters instead of images. Here is how a bitmap font looks like:

In addition to a texture like this, there is also an XML-file that describes which character can be found at which position in the image, and other information.

To create a bitmap font, we recommend one of the following tools:

• Bitmap Font Generator by AngelCode (Windows only, free)
• Glyph Designer by 71squared (commercial)

From the free options, AngelCode produces the better output, but it is only available in Windows. When you use it, export the font data in XML format, and the texture as a PNG-file with white characters on a transparent background (32 bit).

'Hiero' works in any operating system (it's a Java application), but does not create the XML format that Sparrow requires. So you need to convert its output before being able to use it in Sparrow. For this reason, we created another small Ruby script (sparrow/util/hiero2sparrow) that does the conversion for you.

Now, let's say you created your bitmap font — that means you have 2 files: 'myfont.fnt' and 'myfont.png'. Using this bitmap font is a little complicated. No, just kidding . It could not be easier:

That's it! When you register the bitmap font like this, you can use it just like any other font. Just set the 'font'-property of a textfield to the name of the font (if you are unsure, find the 'face'-attribute in the '.fnt'-file, or examine the NSString-object that is returned by the registerBitmapFontFromFile:-method).

For even more speed, you can add the font image to your texture atlas, as well. In that case, you have to register the font the following way:

That should be all you need to know about bitmap fonts!
