@matt, I'm curious if you got that new QuanPixel font properly converted from .bdf to .fnt ? I used this thread:

Font data from BDF

Hi, I wrote a converter to make .fnt data from .bdf data. bdf2fnt-master.zip (2.8 KB) [Screen Shot 2020-05-15 at 17.23.03] https://github.com/freedesktop/xorg-font-adobe-75dpi/blob/master/courR12.bdf The image above shows the converted X11 font and loaded into the font editor. How to use it. $ bundle install $ bundle exec bdf2fnt.rb -o output courR12.bdf Then, .fnt and .png will be output. One thing to note is that it's not completely convertible, so you'll need to rework it. Especiall…

And got the ruby script to convert the example adobe font fine, but using the QuanPixel .bdf as an input threw an error:

./bdf2fnt.rb:148:in `encode_func': unknown charset (RuntimeError)
from ./bdf2fnt.rb:169:in `check_code'
from ./bdf2fnt.rb:43:in `readfile'
from ./bdf2fnt.rb:277:in `block in <main>'
from ./bdf2fnt.rb:276:in `each'
from ./bdf2fnt.rb:276:in `<main>'

I guess maybe I should be asking the OP of that script, but just curious if you got QuanPixel converted properly in some other way?
