That would be pretty handy!

However, OGA is totally art focused so I don't think there's a proper place to upload something like that.

I suppose if you had a sample sheet or two, you could bundle those with the code and post it as an art submission but that's kind of bending the rules a little.

Alternately, you might try setting up a source forge site for the project, not sure what it takes to do that but I know that's where alot of open source code projects go to live.

About your proggy, does it load a TTF and export to PNG or something?

Does it spit out any meta data (sprite data, curning data, etc)?

Any options to add an outline to the font?

Just curious.

I would just add that TinyWorlds did something similar. He made a name generator program, and uploaded it under the "Documents" section with both a list of sample names, and the program (http://opengameart.org/content/name-generator-with-lists).

I suspect it would be well received if you released your program under 2D Art, packaged with a sample output font sheet.
