Why?
Because. But more importantly, because
foone wanted to implement a
generator for this game on their
Death Generator website
(shoutouts!), only to be devastated by the somewhat disgusting
truth behind the text rendering in
Stuart Little: The Journey Home -
everything is just pre-rendered bitmaps. There is no
in-game font, however we do know the fonts that they've used in
those bitmaps, as the developers and/or artists at Tiertex liked
to use the software "DeluxePaint II" for them.
Its system
font is widely used throughout the game. For the Diary bitmaps,
the header font is called "Olive" at 12pt (9px). While the body
text font is good old Arial at 8pt (with no anti-aliasing of
course)
For all I know, at least the "Thanks for the tip, George!" generator can "pixel perfectly" recreate the bitmaps from the real game if you were to just spam a bunch of blocks of text whenever the spacing isn't right. However the Diary generator is not as accurate just yet because of how the outlines for the header font are handled. A full rip of the game's bitmaps (NTSC version) can be found here.

Known Issues
- Diary "header" font outline style is not fully accurate
- It also is not fully inside the selection box
- On mobile, adding new text sometimes doesn't work
- Leaving a generator with selected text and coming back causes issues
- Once you click to focus the screen you can't use other browser shortcuts or even right click wtf
- Arial font has a few extra pixels in a few characters because of weird hinting issues (GameMaker issue)
Coming Soon (?)
- Auto-save
- "Delete everything" button
- More accurate outline for Diary "header" font
