Hi! Does anyone know where I could find some small pixel fonts(like 8x8 or 8x16)? They should be in the bitmap format and this small because I need to use them on a machine that has resolution of 424x334(!). I would prefer free fonts... Thanks. ----------------------------------------------------- It''s better to rule in hell than to serve in heaven. ----------------------------------------------------- -Ivan

Yes, I''ve searched the google The thing is I can''t find any of them put in a bitmap(like .bmp, .tga ). They''re all in .ttf or similar font format, and I''m having trouble rendering them.

Thanks

Have you tried the Bitmap Font Builder by Thom Wetzel?
You can find it here, I think it''s what you''re looking for.

BTW, try it with these settings:

Font Smoothing
Enabled

Texture Size
256x256

Font 1
Face = System
Size = 8

Font 2
Face = Terminal
Size = 8

Then just leave everything else the same. The result seem to be what you''re talking about.

Here's mine if you want it:

Thanks, everyone!
Though, I''ve found a thing called ''Bitmap font writer'' which comes with a few fonts that are not only small, but also good looking. And I''ve found a web page with some fonts ripped from NES games...
