.ttf to.txf converter

[foravalon]

A little while back someone had an awesome .ttf to .txf converter on their website, you uploaded the former and it spat out the latter, but it seems that any and all references to that old site are now gone with the wind. Does anyone have access to a program or a location where I can find a tool which can do this? It's my understanding that Celestia can still only recognize .txf file types and I really would like to shake it up a bit for the project I'm working on.

I have seen code for something called gentext or something but I'm not a programmer and I'm not sure if anyone's had success with this code anyway.

Does anyone know of any practical ways of creating .txf files from regular .ttf font files?

You can compile ttf2txf from the source files:
http://www.celestiaproject.net/~claurel/celestia/fonts/tt2txf/

If you can't build it yourself on Windows, you can grab ttf2txf.exe from:
viewtopic.php?f=4&t=6814&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=26

And there you'll find some help about how to use it:

Hey, thanks Vincent!

I'll play around with those a bit and see if I can figure out a way to compile it. The .exe link appears to lead to a Japanese website, but the others seem fairly straight forward. I'll experiment.

Thanks again!
