I'm not sure we meant for the Numerals version of that font to be distributed — apparently we made it for internal performance reasons that don't apply to game development. Does the full version work unmodified? (Roobert-24-Medium.fnt)
Ah, well it was handy -- I wanted a big font for numbers but didn't need any of the other characters, so it seemed like a smaller asset to include in my project. I didn't try the full character set, but I did make my new version of the numerals .fnt file by just clipping the relevant section out of the full .fnt
