I have code based in that tutorial in my current project:

https://github.com/kiith-sa/awesome2D

See the font subdirectory and demo/texturepacker.d
(Note that the package/module structure is badly organized due to 
rushing).


A slightly different implementation is in my older project, ICE, 
but it doesn't compile with current DMD.

I'm also working on a simple in-game GUI library as a part of 
this project,
but I'm only doing what I need myself (which is virtually nothing 
right
now, because time) and its not nearly  as convenient to use as it 
could be. Also, not intended for OS-style GUIs, just game GUIs 
and maybe non-standard stuff like what you see in graphics 
programs.

H3r3tic had a more advanced GUI framework (still not native), 
hybrid, which IMO has a far better API than any framework I've 
seen, but I never found the source,
only documentation somewhere on his (unmaintained) site.
