I found a link https://forum.thegamecreators.com/thread/210519 here on the forums referring to this "UO BitmapFontMaker" tool that allows converting TTF fonts to bitmap font that will work with AGK2, but I do not see where to actually get this application?

Hmmm, for some reason the Author of the App have pulled the download link - or perhaps it did not survive the transition to the new forum. I have the App, but there is no helpful links in the about menu. It does say however that it is free to distribute and use. Sooo...

download it here

Thanks for posting. I was hoping this would work with Mac as the other Font maker tool posted on here is Windows only, but that appears to be Window only as well

For anyone else that comes along and is on Mac like I am. I ended up purchasing bmGlyph off the Mac App store http://bmglyph.com/. It is pay only, cost $10. You can use their "publish" option to set to appgamekit. It's slightly weird because it creates files named like this.



That doesn't work, but it is just because the foo.fnt file is not named correctly for AGK. Rename it to "foo subimages.txt" and it works perfectly. I contacted the dev and they weren't aware that was an issue so they are planning to get it fixed for a future update. As far as I can tell this is the ONLY option that works on Mac. If you have others please share.

It's a nice piece of software, well worth the $10 as it has some nice fx.
