Tool to generate font files for circular text and watch hands

I recently got into Garmin development after seeing the code for the excellent Infocal watch face. As a lockdown project I've written a watch face from scratch to learn how everything works.

As part of the process I developed this tool and example watch face to generate the anti-aliased circular text and watch hands I wanted to use.

The description of the tool and instructions for use are on the github repo, comments and change requests are very welcome, as are comments on my first watch face produced using this tool, Take Duck

Thanks

Tom

Hi Jim thanks for the links, I found the hand generator tool you link but nothing for generating the circular text fonts so thought I'd make something that made doing both easier. Hopefully the tool might help people who want to make circular text watch faces in future
