Custom fonts

BMF iq quite easy to use, but you will see That custom font will take lot of memory. 

For less memory you can use filtrer in it and of course a string ressource for language with '' extra '' character. 

I saw à post here where someone created an other app to replace bmfont, cant say about ios 

BMF ia a Windows app, I'm on Mac.

"a lot of memory" - any stats?

Do you have a link to "another app"? 

More or less 4k.

I save 2k using string ressource and using to upper to delete low case. You have to be carreful when selecting which caractères you will use 

I'am using https://www.71squared.com/glyphdesigner on mac os X, a bit expensive as a yearly licence but more up to date than BMGlyph ... You can buy a monthly licence ...

I used it for that watch face...

and as Shent-Aurkhan (SHN) I use the upper case trick to keep the memory low ...

I use BMFont on a mac using wine (thread somewhere about it).  Works fine so far and free.  Use proper filters when importing fonts.  We had a forum discussion about what filter to use for displaying weekdays for different languages somewhere in the old forum.

Here's a blog post  by HermoT with some general stuff as well as some of his tricks:
