TextureFont
TextureFont is an addon for Godot that allows creating fonts from textures from directly within the editor. This addon adds a new TextureFont resource that defines how each character is mapped to the texture(s). These resources can be used anywhere a font is expected (Such as Label, Button, TextEdit). They allow for fancier, more colorful or more retro-looking fonts over the standard formats. See the repository for more information: https://github.com/Mickeon/Godot-Texture-Font

[!WARNING] This port from 3.x is still "Work in Progress". Some things may not work properly, a few things may break over time.
TextureFont for Godot 4.2+
TextureFont is an addon for Godot that allows creating fonts from textures from directly within the editor.

Although not up-to-date, the original guide should suffice as a point of reference. However, it shouldn't be too hard to figure out. What you do need to know for starters:
- Enable this addon in the Project Setting's "Plugins" tab;
- Navigate to the File System dock, right click and select "New Resource...";
- Look up and pick "TextureFont". Once it has been created, select it;
- Congratulations! The Texture Font editor is now open. O joy of creation.
Credit to @ElectronicBlueberry for the original addon. This port was initially tailored specifically to my project. However, I feel like the public would benefit from it as well.
Notable differences currently include:
- Image
scaleandinterpolationare disabled.- A better, more dynamic solution may be added in the future.
[!NOTE] This port uses a very hacky solution to use a placeholder texture temporarily whenever a TextureFont is saved in the editor, to avoid massive data bloat. This causes Git to report false changes and may also cause a few errors on save. This is not avoidable in 4.2, but should be addressed from 4.3 forward (see https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues/82254).
