Just so everyone knows JamesK is correct just flip the image vertically and it will work
Hiero Font Editor on OSX?
(42 posts) (29 voices)-
Click on Glyph Cache radio button in Rendering sub-window and select Page Width = 512 and Page Height = 512 (for large e.g. 72 point font, use smaller values for 32 and 48 point fonts).
This will cause all glyphs to appear on one page / .PNG file rather than on multiple .PNG files
Also the source code for Hiero can be found at
http://slick.cokeandcode.com/static.php?page=sourcecode
which leads to
https://bob.newdawnsoftware.com/repos/slick/trunk/Slick/tools/org/newdawn/slick/tools/hiero/
anyone game to post a fix for the upside-down PNG bug??
The http://www.n4te.com/hiero/hiero.jnlp link appears to be dead. I have been using this previously with no issues. The old 2.0 link http://slick.cokeandcode.com/demos/hiero.jnlp is usable but contains bugs (e.g. the need to flip vertically the resulting .PNG image file)

You can add more packing between the letters (I think that used to work) or alternatively get http://glyphdesigner.71squared.com/ and avoid the pain :)

Hi All,
I noticed that the Hiero 2.0 jnlp had stopped working in OS X 10.7.x Lion
I have downloaded the source and re-compiled in OS X 10.7.3
If you would like the binaries please see link below
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17590589/Hiero-2.0.zip
If you are interested in the build steps please see below (for Eclipse build you will need to have Eclipse IDE installed from http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/)
From Terminal.app
svn checkout https://bob.newdawnsoftware.com/repos/slick/trunk/ slick-trunkIn Terminal.app
cd slick-trunk/Slick
ant build-slick
ant slick-util
Creates
slick.jar
slick-util.jar
in the slick-trunk/Slick/lib folderFinder->Go to slick-trunk/Slick/lib
Expand natives-mac.jar (e.g. right click->Open with->The Unarchiver.app) and move resulting files to lib folder so that libjinput-osx.jnilib, liblwjgl.jnilib and openal.dylib are at the same level as natives-mac.jar
Delete the empty natives-mac folder
This avoids the dreaded "java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no lwjgl in java.library.path" error on launchLaunch Eclipse->File->New->Other->Java Project from Existing Ant Build File
Browse to slick-trunk/Slick/build.xml
Select "javac" task found in target "build-hiero"
Click Finish
Right click slick project->Build Path->Configure Build Path
Click Add External JARs
Add
slick.jar
slick-util.jar
lwjgl.jar
From slick-trunk/Slick/lib/
Expand lwjgl.jar
Click on Native Library Location
Click Edit button
Click External Folder and browse to slick-trunk/Slick/lib (this will allow the app to find libjinput-osx.jnilib, liblwjgl.jnilib and openal.dylib at runtime)
Click Order and Export tab
Click checkbox for
slick.jar
slick-util.jar
lwjgl.jar
Click OK buttonRight click slick project->Run As->Java Application
Select "Hiero - org.newdawn.slick.tools.hiero"
Click OK
Hiero should launch successfullyRight click slick project->Export->Runnable jar file
Select Launch Configuration "Hiero - slick"
Browse for Export destination
Click FinishGo to destination folder
Copy libjinput-osx.jnilib, liblwjgl.jnilib and openal.dylib so that they are in the same folder as Hiero.jar
Launch Hiero.jar
Done.Hope this helps
