No.   

TTFs can store blocky-shapes similar to these fonts.  With especial tweaking, they can be lined up on the metrics of regular pixels, so that when used with a font display codebase that can draw non-AA fonts (such as the one built into PS), they will appear as pixel fonts.  However, making a TTF of bitmap fonts requires an entirely different skillset from pixel-editing;  it requires you to know your way around vector art tools, and stuff like fontforge, so it's likely that pixel artists won't have the skills to make a TTF font.  I sure don't.

Typically this is not a skill you should expect most artists to have.  Making TTF fonts is a specialization unto itself.

I was wondering when they were going to make it a single domain instead of the "fontshop" part.

This tool will convert a ttf font to a bitmap font.

Very cool, it can't substitute well made font typography, but for pixel fonts it's just ok.

Wow, that fontstruct thing could prove really useful for me.  Thanks for posting that!

Yesssssssss
I actually really enjoy creating fonts, so I might pop around here later with some utter junk.

Font from my Versus Compo entry.

If you want to use it, just make sure you put me in the credits.

Something I made a couple of days ago for a game I'm working on. It's not a very good font, but if anyone wants to use it, just credit me or whatevs.
