What do you guys use to create fonts that you use in your games (.fnt or .ttf)? If you personally don't make them, where do you get them from, and how can I make my own?

I get them from C:\Windows\Fonts.

I make them in Div or use a Windows font.

I sometimes use this nice site: 1001fonts.com.

There is a program to make div/fenix format fonts called FNT Edit (I think from the same maker as FPG Edit). Get it here.

That program is buggy and generally only creates grey fonts, in my experience. I hope it works for other people.

The big problem with using windows fonts is it is totally illegal, I was looking for an alternative.

DIV's editor was cool, but your stuck if you've moved on to XP (which I, and most other people, have)

I'll check out FNT edit, thanks Rince
