Help with Fonts

UpsetChicken

Hi. I want to add a bitmap font to my game. I've already created a png image containing the chars sheet. The sheet is only for numbers, not letters, so it will only contain 0, 1, 2, 3... etc. How can I make it usable in my game? I made a .fnt file to hopefully make things easier. Thanks!

Can you convert this into a standard format like otf?

The recommended way to convert a bitmap font spritesheet to a format usable by Godot is to use BMFont. See Using fonts in the documentation for more information.

Using TTF/OTF font files with DynamicFont is still preferred as these can scale to any resolution, unlike bitmap fonts.

Didn't tried it yet, but thank you for the suggestion

Yeah I made my font with BMFont, it is really good. But I am struggling to use my created font in Godot. All I have achieved so far is creating the font and exporting it to .fnt format.
