Font Studio 4.1

Hi Nitrogen,
I have a feature request for your most excellent Font Studio 4.1...

Do you know if it would it be possible allow it to load a font (ttf) WITHOUT actually installing said font into Windows first?

cheers,
Paul

Hello Nitrogen,

I have written a plugin for the Phoenix font format, but i have two issues:

Firstly phoenix font files ends with .phxfnt but i'm only allowed to return 3 chars from the plugin, and it is not possible to write MyFont.phxfnt in the save dialog manually, it converts to .phx.

Secondly I'm missing information on the line base of each character, ie the distance to shift the character in the Y-Direction (or I don't understand where to extract it from). This is a problem for when I, for instance generates a normal, bold and italic version of the same font and then alternates between the 3 different font sets, the Y-position of the text changes for each font (even through they are printed on the same Y coordinate).

I have tried to align the characters both to the top and to the bottom and it makes no difference (which i didn't expect either)

Othervise, it is a great application!
