Does one of these exist? I've googled and found one called FontCreator by Kamac, but it doesn't appear to have a download link and also seems out of date with AppGameKit updates. Does anyone know of an alternative?

If not I'll have to make one and will upload. Ideally I don't want to have to drag boxes around. I think something that automatically boxes characters and then prompts you for the keyboard input makes the most sense.

Thanks Baxslash

My Bitmapfont creator is the ideal tool to take a windows ttf font and create a font image and atlas data file.

But if you already have a hand drawn font image (such as those by Scraggle which inspired me to make the Font creator), then you can use my Atlas Image Data Generator app to create the atlas file for any sprite/font sheet* automatically.

Both apps are available through the link in my signiture.

* Images need a uniform background colour and a 1 pixel gap around sub images for auto detect to work.

Cheers Baxslash but cheers mostly to Prof. I just downloaded it and gave it a whirl. Had a good looking font in my game within a few a minutes! Top work that man!
