Usage

1. When you apply the plugin and start the server, the default unicode font images are generated as examples in the waterdog/packs/fonts directory.
2. If a file named .../fonts/glyph_XX/YY.png exists, it will automatically be applied as the font corresponding to Unicode U+XXYY.
3. If you want to convert existing font files to fit the plugin, simply place the 'glyph_XX.png' file in the 'font' directory, and it will be automatically converted.

The automatic conversion and build feature runs once when the server starts up. Restart is required for the changes to take effect after modification.

When using this image font on the server, simply input the corresponding character for 'U+XXYY' as usual.
The Unicode converter can be conveniently accessed via bedrock.dev or unicodeconverter.net.

exmaple) When server directory is configured as below,

. # waterdog directory
├── packs
│   └── fonts
|       ├── glyph_E0
|       |   ├──── 01.png
|       |   ├──── 0A.png
|       |   └──── ...
|       |
│       └──── glyph_E3.png
│
└── ...

In that case, the 'glyph_E3.png' file will automatically be split into 'glyph_E3/YY.png' and applied to the server.
Additionally, the existing 'glyph_E3.png' file will be removed.

. # waterdog directory
├── packs
│   └── fonts
|       ├── glyph_E0
|       |   ├──── 01.png
|       |   ├──── 0A.png
|       |   └──── ...
|       |
│       └─── glyph_E3
|       |   ├──── 0A.png
|       |   ├──── 0B.png
|       |   └──── ...
