So I'm working on an English-Korean translation for a Windows 9x era PC game.  We've only made a small dent in the script of the game, but if we want any of out translation to show up in-game, we will need an 8-bit Korean font.  Someone has already developed a tool for making a font from a bitmap, but in order to generate that bitmap, I'll need something to determine the 233 glyphs to include.  Is there any ready tool that can be fed a batch of 40+ files and tell me what glyphs are used in them?  Or maybe someone would be interested in coding this?

The input will be a batch of plain text files encoded in UTF-16 with the .STR extension.  The output that I envision is another text file that lists the characters that appeared in the files, and the number of characters that are listed.  What I want to produce eventually is something similar to this, from which someone else generated a bitmap to be used for a Japanese font:



And this is a picture of the original font used in the game.  I can have that many characters.  The pink squares are for the font generating program to recognize each character.

This looks like it can perform just what I wanted.

Here's a small section of the output from a test document:


I only know very basic html, so what will I need to add to get those characters to render?

Of course I knew to add html and body tags

Thanks for making that adjustment so quickly!

Here's sample output from another test document after I rendered it with a web browser:


Works like a charm!

Now to just get through the 540 kb of script with my other translator.

edit: oops, I added some line breaks

Hmm, I don't know what to say about that besides that the utility specifies a pink box around each character with a one pixel black space between each.  I think the placement in rows is just for more easy human readability because it scans from left to right, and up to down.
