Doom Writer is a Windows utility developed by Visual Vincent. It allows the creation of images from text using Doom/Doom II fonts in a chosen color scheme.
Features[edit]
- Supports Doom's large font that is used in the menu (lumps M_* and WI*) and intermission level names (WILV* in Doom or CWILV* in Doom II) – a.k.a. BIGFONT;
- Supports the small font used on text screens, the cast sequence and elsewhere (lumps STCFN*) – a.k.a. SMALLFONT;
- Create images with multiple lines of text;
- Add vertical offsets to individual characters within a line;
- Assign colors to individual characters from the Zandronum/Skulltag colors list;
- Freely resize the image;
- A Chart Editor with the ability to use custom font charts.
