Feature Request: Add a config option to use chars from a UTF-8 file #2

Closed dan200 closed 8 years ago

Hiya, thanks for writing this tool! I've been looking for a cross platform implementation of BMFont. That said, it's missing possibly the most useful BMFont feature, and i'd like to request it: the "add characters from file" option. This option would take a path to a UTF-8 formatted text file, and include all the characters contained in the file in the font. This is very useful if you have, for example, a file full of Japanese text you wish to display with your program, but you don't want to include all 10000+ characters in the CJK unicode planes in your font images.

Thanks! I'v added charsFile options just now. But there is a limitation for characters greater than 65536, I'm still working for.

Upd: now all the UTF-8 characters (include >= 65536) are supported.
