It's taken more time than I care to think about, but I've finally finished Font Studio 4.0!

It's better in every way than anything before it, and I'm pretty safe in saying that it's one of the best bitmap-font generators out there that I've seen!

I'm pushing it out tonight, still hot out of the ide. The unit for loading the font files is also written, it just needs a font demo worthy of it, so that should be coming in the next few days.

In the mean time, you can grab the Studio itself here: http://www.nitrogen.za.org/projectinfo.asp?id=12




Font Studio is now version 4.0 which comes with the following changes:

* Multithreaded
* Unicode support!
* Drop Shadows and Outlines!
* Characters are packed into the texture optimally, with customisability
* Project files are now separate from exported Font files.
* Exports textures as JPG, BMP, TGA, with a separate alpha file, or as a 32 bit TGA.
* Exports font data as INI, XML or FNT file, which can be attached to the texture file.

*UPDATE*

I've added small font support, cleartype support and no texture size constraint, among other small changes.

AND, I've updated the XML export, so it writes both XNA style xmls and my own style which are a little easier to integrate into your own code.
New version is avaliable for download using the link above.
