It would be nice if you could create a webpage with a bit of JS with controls for choosing the font parameters, and the right font coming up on the browser window, perhaps with a nice zoom factor.

  Thanks for posting! To turn this into a font for a sprite sheet would take some sort of mapping for each.. Autosegmentation seems maybe practical. Are the glyphs in any order? I just poked around and it doesn't seem so. Indexing them according to character code would be a fair amount of work by hand. Maybe a handwriting Neural Net? Hmm.. I have an old one somewhere

    The few I've opened appear to cover a 60-character segment of the ASCII table from 0x20 to 0x5B in row major order with a fixed glyph size indicated in the file name.

      There does seem to be consistency in groups with similar names, but e.g. from the first page, two of the same size with different ordering: https://github.com/ianhan/BitmapFonts/blob/main/32_32V1.png https://github.com/ianhan/BitmapFonts/blob/main/32_32V1.png https://github.com/ianhan/BitmapFonts/blob/main/32X32-F1.png https://github.com/ianhan/BitmapFonts/blob/main/32X32-F1.png Still, it's a good point that there's some ordering. Maybe it's not so bad setting up an index by hand for each group.

  Don’t you love how people volunteer your time when you make a contribution to history and society like you did?

If you're going to show off demo scene bitmap fonts then the best way would be to use a scroller. Feel free to use mine... https://codepen.io/onion2k/pen/rYgxdJ https://codepen.io/onion2k/pen/rYgxdJ
