Absolutely awesome! I'm impressed by the level of polish, this is waay beyond the usual POCs you see for hacks like this.

For me, the tl;dr from the technical explanation was this:

> Now, everything in fontemon is baked

Just reading that made me laugh out loud. It's so simple and so ridiculous, i love it.

I recommend reading the entire blog post btw, it's very thoroughly explained and it assumes no knowledge of either fonts or gamedev.

Thanks! For better or worse, I'm a perfectionist with deadlines (to steal django's slogan) . I tried to make everything as accessible as possible, because I know 12 year old me would want to make his own font-game. I spent a lot of time, adding guard rails to Blender so you can't get lost (I made it impossible to change the camera, to dismiss the side bar menu, I also made it so you never have to go into a sub-menu. Everything you need is available in one central location.)
