Hi guys,
I found this font creator and it works great in terms of features like outline, drop shadow and what not. Take a look on the pic. However i can't get it to display properly in WME. I have pasted my font code beneath the picture.

Code: [Select]

FONT
{
  IMAGE = "fonts\Violet\Untitled.bmp"
  TRANSPARENT = 255,0,255
  COLUMNS = 16
  TILE_WIDTH = 22
  TILE_HEIGHT = 32
  AUTO_WIDTH = TRUE
  SPACE_WIDTH = 0
  ;--EXPAND_WIDTH = 5
}
Cheers 
Myles Blasonato
PS: I also exported an XML file to see the info and it's telling me the size is 22x32. I don't know if that's cell size or...?

You should probably use the "select character range" and choose all 256 characters (that's what WME expects). Apparently the characters before space are skipped in your font.

While I have you here. Do you know of any font creator that can allow me to put a shadow or outline on the font. The two that i have found work but don't have the outline or drop shadow features.

If you can export the file with transparency then you can add outline and shadow in any decent image editor.

There should be an easier way with an font generator.

Well adding a shadow in Photoshop is a matter of, like, five mouse clicks
Anyway, bitmap fonts will give you a lot of headaches when you decide to localize your game. I recommend using TrueType fonts wherever possible.
