Additional information

You can individually use the FontToTga command line or use the provided generateFontFamily.bat file instead as a base. In the example generateFontFamily.bat "Arial" is the fontName and the following number the size of the font to be created. So if you execute the given bat file, six fonts should be created into the Fonts folder. You can define which characters are created by editing FontToTga.cfg.
