[Wylug-discuss] Possible contribution to The Community

[roger]

Hi y'all,

Maybe off-topic, but close (I hope)...

I'm currently playing with PHP/MySQL and wanted a font to overlay theatre
seasons (eg '2003-4') onto navigation arrows.  I couldn't find one I liked,
but could find specs.  So I designed my own as an image file and wanted to
convert that to a bit-mapped font suitable for "imageloadfont()".

Next I wanted a tool to convert from image to font...

Suffice it to say that it would be easy to pay, or download, gillions, but
all the options I found were either way OTT for my needs, or only available
as C source (which I don't like hacking).

Accordingly, I've written a PHP script that does the conversion from BMP
(not difficult, but due to format quirks in BMP, not too trivial).

And - unless Google let me down (or, more likely I drove Google badly) -
that might be useful for other PHP players.

And so to my question - how do I offer this to "the community"?  Who do I
tell?  Where do I send it?  How do I get an opinion as to whether it's
worth the trouble?

I'd like to give something back, but how do I do it?


Good networking,
