DebugOutputSpriteSheet
Provides an image version of your sprite sheet so
you can check the output.
For the example game, we'll generate a simple sprite font for the Segoe UI font that
ships with Windows 8. Remember that when you add fonts to your game, you need
to ensure you're licensed to distribute them with software.
Start a command prompt at the location of
MakeSpriteFont.exe
and run the fol-
lowing command:
MakeSpriteFont.exe "Segoe UI" "GameFont.font"
