Hi I'm trying to make my hown font with the angel code font editor. But for unknow reason the generated font do not work, my bmx test crash when i try to use them?? But the font distributed with the module work correctly ? Anybody can give me info for the angelcode font creator setup ? http://www.wieringsoftware.nl/blitz/ http://www.angelcode.com/products/bmfont/ Edit : Of course i'm exporting the FNT file to binary format... as the doc say. Regards

i have the same problem. this is the error report: DebugLog:incbin::bankg.fnt is not a binary version 2 .FNT file and yes its a binary file. if i try to select (in font ganerato) the chars from a .fnt file like "Delicious.fnt" says that there 42 chars are not available in the font. is that windows language specific? i have german XP

The module should be fine. The editor has a newer .fnt format, that is why it yells at you. Hmm.. Anyone know where to get the older versions of the editor? EDIT: Woot!! The last version that works with the bmfont module is 1.9c, just played around with the download link until I found it: http://www.angelcode.com/products/bmfont/install_bmfont_1.9c.exe

I just made an updated version that supports the new binary file format: http://www.wieringsoftware.nl/blitz/BMFont.bmx It also still works with the old format. (simply replace this file in your mod directory and rebuild modules)
