(Updated 12/19: Fixed a bug with the spacing of ‘!’)

(Note 1/1: The filename will probably need to be renamed, itch seems to be mangling it!)

This can be modified or stripped down quite a bit, but the main takeaways are:

• Using a stringified font produced by this cart only costs two tokens (just paste the string that running it copies to your clipboard!)
• You can paste in your own sprite font, provided it uses color 0 for transparency; any color other than 0 is taken to be “on” because the custom fonts supported by PICO-8 are colored as usual
• It’s configured for either variable-width or fixed-width fonts (and erases any empty space padding in the former case)
• If you use variable width, remember that printing returns the furthest x position, so you can easily determine word wrapping by drawing off-screen

Good luck, hope this helps!

Great work!  Thanks much!

Updated: forgot to mask out some bits from the first attribute byte written, so it was incorrectly spacing and adjusting ‘!’ depending on which font you used.
