Thank you for your comment @GeloBlueBrain. This script for Aseprite is not an extension and thus cannot be used as such. Try adding it as a script using the following steps:
Extract the ZIP file
Open Aseprite
Go to File → Scripts → Open Scripts Folder
Place the extracted files into the opened directory
Hey EyeDonutz, Thanks fo your post. I've updated the links to the correct pages. Also, I tested the script with version Aseprite 1.2.40-x64 and it worked fine. Could you provide me with some additional information about the issue? Like the Aseprite version you're using and the text you're trying to write.
Hey there, thank you for the quick response and fixing the link on the page.
In the middle of writing this reply and retesting the script, it turns out I didn't activate it properly; it was late at night and I was too tired to realize it was a script; not an extension. The issues resolved now. I profusely apologise for this! It works entirely fine.
Hey Gidan. Indeed, there is an 'Insert Text' feature in Aseprite. But it doesn't have the functionalities i wanted. This tool was never meant as a replacement for the built-in feature.
Hey DWNfonts 铢钧的字, thanks for your comment. The support of Unicode characters was not planned, but I'll add it to the list of New Features to look into it.
No problem elithecooldood1231, it's a viable question. The installation instructions are displayed after the download of the tool, but i'll post them here additionally:
Extract the ZIP file
Open Aseprite
Go to File → Scripts → Open Scripts Folder
Place the extracted files into the opened directory
Thanks! For now it's not possible to add custom fonts to the tool without some scripting knowledge. Though I'm working on a little script with which you can add your own font based of an image. Once the script is available i'll reply to you again.

When I add the zip file, I got an error stating:
Error parsing JSON file: unexpected end of input.
(First time adding an extension by the way)

Hope it helps :)
Hi, I cannot seem to use this extension on the current version of Aseprite even with the most up to date version. Would it be possible to update this?
Also, the 'Supported Fonts' link leads to an Error 404.

No problem! I'm glad it works now :)
but, this tool already exists in aseprite...

That’s a good font. Do you have any plans for supporting Unicode characters in this tool?

how do you import the tool into aseprite? (this is my first time doing this sorry lol)

tysm!!!
Nice tool! I've designed a font I want to use with it - how do I go about getting the script to recognise this font?

Excellent! Thank you for the prompt reply!
Great tool! Very helpful :D
Glad you like it! Thanks
