How to merge all final glyphs to a new file
Hi Aiekick,
Thank you for such a cool tool!
I'm testing a feature to save all final selected fonts to a single .ttf file and generate a header for all the glyph. In this case, no matter if a source font file in the project is used (i.e. has its glyph(s) selected), since it is a candidate and I may use it next time, a final .ttf should be exported.
I'm not sure if the "Merge" mode is the correct mode in this use case, but the Generator::GenerateFontFile_Merged function returned with error.
Hello,
Thank you
yes, at the moment the blend mode has a big problem, it also crashes on my end every other time. and when it succeeds, there is a problem with fonts that do not have the same scale. some glyphs are small and some are tall.
for now, it is better to have a font file in subsets, instead of using merge mode.
but you can also help fix this feature via PR or other. it's complicated to write a TTF file format, especially the GLYF table. Google's sfntly lib helps a lot, but it's still difficult for the moment and for several months I will not have time for that
Sorry :)
Thank you Aiekick! For this project and the patient explanation. Currently, I'm converting all icons in SVG format into a single ttf file and using ImGuiFontStudio to validate and generate C/C++ header! The workflow works alright. I will open source my scripts if I have other weekend time.

Uploaded scripts used to generate font files from iconify (https://github.com/iconify/iconify).
i see your last comment but i always dont know the relation with this post. because this stuff is not related ti ImGuiFontStudio its more like an advertising :) ? is not ?
Haha, not really, I really wish this issue got fixed so I don't need to use my temporary scripts for the work around, which is never expected to be a serious project. Additionally, we need colored icons which will be supported by ImguiFontStudio. This tool has project to manage all the icons, which is also a big plus.
