load-bmfont
Loads an AngelCode BMFont file from XHR (in browser) and fs (in Node), returning a JSON representation.
var load = require('@codelenny/load-bmfont')
load('fonts/Arial-32.fnt', function(err, font) {
if (err)
throw err
//The BMFont spec in JSON form
console.log(font.common.lineHeight)
console.log(font.info)
console.log(font.chars)
console.log(font.kernings)
})
Currently supported BMFont formats:
- ASCII (text)
- JSON
- XML
- binary

Usage
load(opt, cb)
Loads a BMFont file with the opt
settings and fires the callback with (err, font)
params once finished. If opt
is a string, it is used as the URI. Otherwise the options can be:
uri
orurl
the path (in Node) or URI (in the browser)binary
boolean, whether the data should be read as binary, default false- (in node) options for
fs.readFile
- (in browser) options for xhr
To support binary files in the browser and Node, you should use binary: true
. Otherwise the XHR request might come in the form of a UTF8 string, which will not work with binary files. This also sets up the XHR object to override mime type in older browsers.
load({
uri: 'fonts/Arial.bin',
binary: true
}, function(err, font) {
console.log(font)
})
