If you want to create Bitmap-Fonts out of TrueType Fonts and use them in your Blitz-Applications, check this out: http://www.blitzbasic.com/codearcs/codearcs.php?code=698 If you have any improvments please let me know. Hope this helps someone :-)

Or perhaps you could load the .BMP font into your image editing software and make a cool game-font with lots of nice colours and maybe a drop-shadow. That would look nice :) Plus theres the speed advantage as well (bitmaps render quicker than text). Have fun.
