pixelkiln font --description "warm orange arcade font" --weight Bold --glyph-px 16 --out fonts/arcade
Generates a pixel font with PixelLab's /generate-font-pro and writes two
files: <out>.ttf, ready to load in an engine, and <out>.png, the 80-glyph
atlas (A-Z, a-z, 0-9, and common game-UI punctuation). A trailing .ttf or
.png on --out is treated as part of the base, so --out fonts/arcade.ttf
writes the same two files.
--weightisBoldorRegular(default);--glyph-pxis the native glyph size,8,16(default),32, or64;--namesets the font family name (PixelLab otherwise uses the description plus the weight).- Costs PixelLab's documented 25 generations, not yet confirmed against a
live bill. The command prints that and asks first;
--yesskips the question,--budget <n>refuses whennis below it, and--dry-runsends nothing. - It waits for the job (PixelLab documents 30-80 s) and then downloads both
files. Existing files are replaced only with
--force.
A font is deliberately not a manifest generator: it has no style suffix to share, no prompt-per-asset, no candidates to pick, and its main output is not an image, so there is nothing for the lockfile's provenance model to hold.
