what are the best settings for exporting fonts. i'm asking because after playing around with it i get very strange looking fonts that are either squished or the i's and l's are stretched the whole bounding width. i'm just using arial and changeing the size. no scalefont command in the code either.

Does the font look strange in fontext, or in your game/app? Are you using the fontext library?

it looks funny in the game. in fontext it looks fine. and yes i'm using the fontext library. what should i export? the ini file or the bb file? and what font size looks best?

Export the ini file and the tga/png. If you send me the fontext settings file and some example code I will take a look. You should generally use packing and no space with Blitz3D.
