System Requirements#

Operating System#

mcfonts is OS-independent. BSD, Linux, Mac, Windows, etc. all work.

Recommendations#

Memory

mcfonts will load all referenced PNG files into memory when reading in a Minecraft font file. This memory usage can range from 10 KB, to 2 MB, to 100 MB. Most fonts are under 100 KB total. mcfonts has relatively high memory usage when exporting.

Storage

You should have enough storage to store the exported OpenType fonts. The largest font possible should be around 8 MB. The smallest font possible should be around 50 KB.

CPU

mcfonts has no explicit speed requirement; it will work however fast it is allowed. mcfonts itself is not very CPU-intensive.

Python#

You will need a Python version of at least 3.10. You can install 3.10 yourself from https://www.python.org/downloads/, or through your distribution/OS package manager.
