FontTool.py

FontTool.py is a tool for creating textures and textures atlases from TrueType font files. It uses PyGame (SDL) to render individual characters into a .png, and outputs a texture atlas containing the position and size of each glyph within the texture. Texture atlases can be output in either a simple flat text format or as an iOS-friendly property list.
