On the import menu, i can navigate and select the .png but can't seem to import it? is it missing the button or is there a key i have to press to import the png image? Thanks.

No problem.

FontSprite supports png files with a certain name format.

The format is as follows:

nameXxY_font.png

so a font with the name hello and a pixel size of 10 x 12 per character would be

hello10x12_font.png

There are a number of default fonts to play with in the fonts folder

Let me know how you get on, or any other questions you need help with :)

that's fine, just unsure how to load it as the current sprite font set. I see no 'open' or any other button - Nevermind, just reread what you wrote. It works

i save myfont32x16.png (256x128, 8x8 fonts). Importing it creats a 16x8. Try to edit it and it crashes. Also tried 8x8 fonts - myfont8x8.png and it crashes trying to edit it. **UPDATE crashing is due to i was exporting as Grayscale instead of RGB.

brilliant that you got it working, and the information about the greyscale crash is great to hear - I can work on a fix for that for you. I can also look at supporting direct name png which will internally convert to the correct sizes.

I'll keep you posted :)
