v0.1.3

A magnified preview window, whole-font editing, a Recent Files list, and codepoints that are no longer stuck at 255.

What's new

  • Magnified Preview window (View ▸ Magnified Preview…) — pop the font out into its own resizable window at 1×/2×/4× zoom, with square or half-width pixels and an optional wrap toggle. It keeps its own editable preview text, seeded from the main window's the moment it opens, and closes automatically with the main window.
  • Whole-font editing — Edit ▸ Whole Font applies clear/invert/flip/shift to every glyph at once as a single undo step. Shift-drag the advance-width marker to set one width across every glyph; Ctrl+Shift-drag applies a relative adjustment instead, previewed live in the character map before you let go.
  • Character map improvements — codepoints now show hex and decimal together, in full-brightness text; double-clicking a codepoint opens the remapping dialog directly.
  • Swap With Reference Glyph (Ctrl+Shift+X) — exchange the selected glyph's bitmap and advance width with its pinned reference in one move.
  • Codepoint tools — Add Codepoint Before/After (Ctrl+[ / Ctrl+]) for a quick, dialog-free neighbor of the current selection; Renumber Codepoints to close gaps into a contiguous run, moving artwork and mappings together; Trim to Codepoint Range to discard everything outside a range. Codepoints are also no longer capped at 255 — any valid Unicode codepoint up to 0x10FFFF is allowed, for fonts that need to reach past the extended-ASCII range.
  • Recently opened files — a File ▸ Recent Files submenu, with stale entries (files that have since moved or been deleted) cleaned up lazily rather than left to error out.
  • Mapping dialog now accepts either the character itself or its Unicode codepoint (decimal or hex, e.g. 0x20AC), switching between them with linked radio buttons.
  • New ASCII-only Helpers — populate just codepoints 32-127, in stock ASCII or the SAM Coupe variant, alongside the existing full 256-codepoint CP437 helpers.
  • Clicking the preview strip now toggles its black/white background too, in addition to the existing View menu item.
  • The default preview text now runs through the rest of the printable ASCII set after the numbers, so a fresh font exercises the whole set at a glance.

Downloads

Windows, macOS (Intel and Apple Silicon), and Linux builds are all attached below. The Windows and macOS builds are unsigned, so you'll see a SmartScreen/Gatekeeper warning on first run — that's expected.
