Does anyone know where I can find proper bitmap fonts in proper image formats (PNG, GIF, even BMP) but not in BDF or FON?

[Yrgkala]

Well, a bitmap font is just a screenshot away from a vector font... I'd go screenshotting on http://www.dafont.com/bitmap.php?af=on .

[Yrgkala]

Save the screenshot in what format you want.

I need full ASCII (0-255) for what I'm doing, not just some letters

There are 128 symbols in ascii, and many of them (the first few dozen) do not have commonly accepted visual single-glyph representations. Eg that's why we express "\n" in 2 glyphs

i think he means he wants the images in the *order* of ascii, rather than having to cut and paste hundreds of little images and arranging them in ascii order

there are programs that let you do this

[Quarry]

Most of the sets use CP 437, which is full ASCII / extended ASCII / high ASCII

Which ones

[ஒழுக்கின்மை (Paul Eres)]

there are tons of them, just use google

i just used google and here's the first result: http://www.angelcode.com/products/bmfont/

i haven't used that particular program, but there are many like it if that one doesn't work for you

BMFont has offset problems when exporting, I've tried to fix it many times

[ஒழுக்கின்மை (Paul Eres)]

so if that one has problems you just need to go to #2 or #3 and not just #1 on google

here's another then: http://www.lmnopc.com/bitmapfontbuilder/

Still looking for pre-made ones, if anyone has a stash

[ஒழுக்கின்மை (Paul Eres)]

you should have said you were looking for pre-made ones in the first place, you can find those even easier! just use a google image search for bitmap font and you'll find tons

Here's some stuff I made but it's for Dwarf Fortress so there's a load of graphics instead of certain characters... If it's usable then go ahead.
