- 1f60c 2y agoResinator's error messages look amazing! I also feel like I’ve gained a lot of cursed but useless (to me) knowledge, so thanks for that. :-) I don't have a horse in this race, but regarding FONT resources, I would like to humbly suggest not supporting them at all. Radical, but from what you wrote, they do seem pretty weird and ripe for accidental misuse. Plus, they are obsolete and it seems like Resinator already intentionally diverges from rc.exe in a few cases anyway.
- squeek502 2y agoThanks! I'm actually pretty okay with where I've landed with FONT resources. The legwork has already been done in figuring things out, and with the strategy I've chosen, resinator doesn't even need to parse .fnt files at all, so the implementation is pretty simple (I wrote a .fnt parser, but it's now unused[1]).

- kcbanner 2y agoThanks again for resinator! I recently used it to ship a small win32 utility (https://github.com/kcbanner/multi-mouse https://github.com/kcbanner/multi-mouse) and it worked perfectly.

- bramhaag 2y agoFun article, thank you! One nitpick: some of the side-by-side code blocks overflow on mobile (Pixel 8 Pro, Firefox)
