Will it be possible later to export the sketch to be able to modify it with Bixelangelo for example with an export option when we select the layer sketch in question. Thank you.

vincent, a year ago


Vincent, yes we could add a FILE > EXPORT AS VECTOR... menu item. It would be great when you would allow us to do that!

michiel, a year ago


Michiel, what do you mean by 'when you would allows us' ?

thanks a lot,
Is there any tips & tricks for making SVG fonts for other languages that we can use in BT?
I used fontforge for making a font for my language but BT, can not load my svg font.

SamSaam, BluffTitler supports stick fonts in the SVG 1.1 font format.

The fonts used in the promo have been made by Windell Oskay in Inkscape, using the Hershey Text plugin. Maybe this info can help you to create your own fonts:

This was a helpful video regarding inkscape and hershey text..

JohnatSkillsloft, a year ago


ALFA MEGA, Hershey Text is an extension for Inkscape. It does not work with BluffTitler.

But of course, the SVG files it generates can be used in BluffTitler!

Thanks again Michiel..... another hit for sure.

Please can you help? I have watched closely the YouTube video showing how to use stick fonts. I have used the same font, and followed the example to the letter. However, when I play back, the lines appear in jerks. What might I be doing wrongly?

Alderny, a year ago

What do you mean with "appear in jerks"? Can you post a screenshot?

michiel, a year ago


Maybe you must add a small value of Smooth (Sketch layer property)

vincent, a year ago


Please look at this video to see what I mean: youtu.be...

Unfortunately, adding smoothing to the sketch layer didn't help.

Alderny, a year ago

This looks like you are animating the WRITER prop of the text and sketch layers at the same time. I think it can be fixed by only animating the WRITER prop of the sketch layer and keeping the WRITER prop of the text layer fixed.

michiel, a year ago


Thank you Michiel, that did the trick. I really appreciate your help.

Thanks Michiel It's a very wonderful job, that's what I've been hope for.
