load-bmfont

Loads an AngelCode BMFont file in browser (with XHR) and node (with fs and phin), returning a JSON representation.

var load = require("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 or url the path (in Node) or URI
binary boolean, whether the data should be read as binary, default false
(in node) options for fs.readFile or phin
(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);
  }
);
