You make a palleted pcx file, the same as you would for any sprite that goes into mugen made up of all the letters and numbers you wish to include.

You then open an existing font and see how they've done it. Then you swear, groan, and get down to counting pixels.

They say a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, but it's not one half so bad as a lot of ignorance.

LOL
So I create the font then a align each letter according to any other fnt In the folder? simplex I like.

 In the end after indexed pcx do I simply rename the extension .Fnt or save it was a .fnt?


Thanks for the info by the way I appreciate it.

Well it's not QUITE that easy but is nevertheless simple. Check out another font using fntedit or font factory to see how they work.
