Bulk-font2image-tool

About:

The purpose of this script is to create image files of each individual character of any .ttf format fonts automatically on multiple fonts at the same time just by running the script

With this script, you will get 600x600 pixel PNG files of the following images:

English alphabet letters
Numbers 0-9
Special characters: !"#$%&'()*+, -./:;<=>?@[]^_`{|}~

By default the images are captioned (named) in the following format:

letter/number/abbreviated name of special character, char, whitebg, name of the font

For example:

4, char, whitebg, Arial
d, char, whitebg, TimesNewRoman
semicolon, whitebg, ComicSans (hehe)

The caption formatting can be changed in the last line of code, marked by the comment pointing to the segment {symbol_name}, char, whitebg, {font-path}.png

If you refer this to the above examples, it is easy to figure out which part does what

For example, if you want to remove everything but the name of the character, remove ", char, whitebg, {font_path}" portion from the code

The naming for the special characters have been abbreviated on purpose

If you wish to change any of the abbreviated names for special characters, you can just edit the fonts.py file where you find the list
Be aware that you cannot use many of those characters in the filename itself, which is the reason for giving them English names

Instructions:

Make an empty folder, name it whatever you want
Paste the fonts.py script into that folder
Go to C:\Windows\Fonts/ and select which fonts you would like to use
Copy these fonts into the folder you just created
Open Command Prompt into this directory
Type: python fonts.py
Hit Enter key

The script will automatically make subfolders based on the filename of each font and save images of each character into the subfolders.

You might want to edit the names of the fonts separately if you want the output filenames to be cleaner
Alternatively just remove the {font_path} portion to remove the font names from the filename as described above

This process might take a while if you have a lot of fonts so please be patient

Final Thoughts:

Please review the results keeping in mind that some fonts might escape the boundaries of the image. This usually doesn't happen with most fonts
Also remember that you are liable and responsible to check the license and terms of use for each font
Have a banana and enjoy!
