1. Creating a font description file

A font description file is a file that specifies which FontX2 fonts to use to create a TrueType file.
A file that describes how to create a font.

First, enter the full-width font file name and half-width font file name of the input FontX2 font.
Create a text file with comma-separated list of client file names.
Please specify fonts with the same height for both.

example)
c:\samples\font\k14.fnt,c:\samples\font\7x14rk.fnt

In the above, the first half is full-width font and the second half is half-width font.
Please do not use white or other colors.

If you want to specify multiple fonts, add them in the same way to the next line.

example)
c:\samples\font\k14.fnt,c:\samples\font\7x14rk.fnt
c:\samples\font\jiskan16.fnt,c:\samples\font\8x16rk.fnt

At this time, make sure that the smaller font size is on the previous line.

As a sample, there is a font called KANAME.IN that contains only the Kanamemachi font.
We have prepared a description file for you to use as a reference.
