git (msys) + merge + araxis

I struggled with setting up the git environment for my windows environment.
And since it's easy to forget these things, I'll just add the command lines for it here:

binpacking + fonts

Skyline-BL (Bottom Left) with
rects sorted on height. Rotation of
the rects were not enabled.

During the holidays, I've been working with my hobbyist project of generating bitmap fonts. One of the issues I hadn't looked into yet was the problem of wasted space between the glyphs and rows. And while I still wasn't actively looking to solve that problem just yet, I stumbled upon a good read by Jukka Jylänki - "A thousand ways to pack the bin - A practical approach to two-dimensional rectangle bin packing" from 2010.

It was a nice explanation of the most common bin packing algorithms and it also came with public domain source code (Thanks Jukka!)
