I’ve added some new features to Atari FontMaker, so if you’re still using the old one, it’s definitely worth grabbing the update!

Here’s the list of changes for the latest version:

What’s New:

• Wider Layout: Recommended screen resolution is now 1024px or higher, otherwise the window won’t fit.
• Massive View Window: Expanded from 8 lines to 26 and moved to the right side of the app.
• BMP Export: You can now export fonts as BMP files for use in tile editors.
• Recolor Tool: Easily “swap” colors within the character you’re currently editing.
• Selection Box: A frame now clearly marks which character is being edited.
• Mousewheel Support: Quickly cycle through characters using your mouse wheel.
• Color Labels: Added descriptive labels for the color palettes.
• Status Bar: Now shows the current character number and selected color.
• “Toggle Draw” in View Window: No more clicking for every single cell—just click, hold, and drag to paint characters into the view window.
• Precision Control: Holding CTRL temporarily disables the drag-draw feature, returning to the “one click = one character” behavior (works in both the editor and view windows).
• Fully Compatible: Still opens view files created in older versions of FontMaker.
