Hi Mike,

the tool Eros linked should do the job just fine. I can share the sources and help with modifications if you need something added.

Hi Folks,

thanks Eros, the second one I didn't know. Petr's tol doesn't save to targa files. But if you can upload the sources to the SVN, that would be cool.

Hi Mike,

TBGL font creator saves to BMP or TGA. Just browse the file type option in save file dialog :)

P.S. I will put all tools on SVN, just have to convert comments from czech to english :roll:
