[Fontforge-users] Batch exporting of .ttf glyphs to .bmp

[Alfred T. <ahk...@ho...>]

Hi All

I'm trying to do some research into OCR of characters and want to extract 
1000's of glyphs from ttf format into bmp format, with each bmp file of 
64x64 pixels. I have two related problems which I hope you guys can help 
with.

1) When viewing a single glyph in a "New Outline Window", it's easy to click 
on File -> Export -> BMP to get a single .bmp file but the resulting .bmp 
file ISNT of 64x64 pixels even if I've asked for it to be 64 Pixel Size

2) My (baby) script
  Select(100,1000) #which I think means, of the opened font, select glyphs 
100-1000 inclusively
  Export("bmp",64) #which I think means export each selected glyph to a bmp 
file of 64 pixels
doesnt work, it returns "Export:0 No bitmap font matches the specified size"

I'm kind of new to font rendering and don't fully understand the concepts 
involved, can somebody help with these please!?!

Yours,
Alfred
