Bitmap fonts for J2ME

When I started to develop for J2ME, I found that many J2ME devices have unsuitable embedded fonts. Only two examples of that: first, some old Motorola phones have very bad face for cyrillic characters. Second, Samsung phones with low screen resolution like 128x160 have one very large font.

I was trying to solve this problems and I found the way to draws texts using my own fonts. Recently I had time to share this solution with the developers community. I created the Mobile Bitmap Fonts project on the SourceForge.net.

The project contains sources of the bitmap font implementaton and an example of mobile application. Also it contains the Bitmap Font Editor that allows to create bitmap fonts. There are two versions of the Font Editor: crosplatform jar file, and Windows installer, that is created using NSIS.

See the project page to find more information about this project.
