I decided to rename the project. When I started working on this, I intended to only focus on an API library, hence the name WCLibrary. I no longer think the name is fitting, so I am going with Wing Commander Toolbox (WCToolbox), a set of tools to work on Wing Commander; seems a bit more appropriate, especially if I continue to add or expand functionality. It is also a play on the name WC Workshop which seems fitting as it served as inspiration for this project.
In any case, here is what’s new for this update:
Here is the output for the relevant characters in each font.
The following screenshot is a very quick test to see if it was possible to include extended characters. In the test, the diacritical marks are not very obvious since the font does not provide a lot of space for them, but it works.
In any case, here is what’s new for this update:
- Support for INSTALL data files (reading and writing).
- Support for FNT data files (reading and writing).

@UnnamedCharacter Do you think you could ever add a wrapper around this so we don't have to run it in the command line and maybe add some buttons to save to PNG or extract and compile? Thanks!
Keep up the great work!
