There's two different tools I used to make these, both of which are fantastic, and I can highly recommend. These are:
BitFontMaker2 This one is how I got started, and it's incredibly easy to get set up with a really intuitive interface. I'd particularly recommend this if you're just getting into pixel fonts - it's really quick to learn, and you can see great results in no time!
I'd highly recommend
Pixel Font Converter by YellowAfterlife A little more complex, and with a correspondingly steeper learning curve, but has a lot of useful features, including unlimited support for all unicode glyphs, kerning pairs and the ability to set metadata for your font.
This requires creating a glyph sheet in your image editor of choice, uploading it to Pixel Font Converter and setting all input, output and metadata parameters in order to generate the intended result.
If you're interested in playing around with this one, some of my more recent fonts include glpyh sheets and JSON files which are compatible with Pixel Font Converter allowing you to import them and try things out to see how it all works :)
Just bought, thanks so much for sharing this! Really excited to use it in my games. It looks like the folder for Faithless 9 is empty, is that intentional?
Thank you very much for the support! That's my mistake on Faithless 9, I've updated the font pack now - many thanks for pointing it out, really appreciate it :)

Brilliant fonts! We used 5. and 13. in our GMTKjam entry this year, thanks so much for creating these 😊 Self-Service Afterlife
Thanks for sharing, this was a lot of fun! I've left a comment and a rating over there :)
Fantastic collection. Thank you for creating it. Not Jam UI Condensed 16 is the perfect fit for a project I'm working on.
Thanks! Glad they're working for you :) feel free to send a link to the project once it's out
excelent, thank you!
Great fonts! I really enjoy them. What would you recommend me if I want to create pixel font?...
Thanks so much! Glad you like them :)

So the second is what you use now?
That's right yes, I find the extra options really useful :)
Did you thought about color fonts?
Extra options? For example to create solid outlines rather than creating individual pixels?
I haven't looked into color fonts, but it might be a good way to play with anti aliasing? I'll have to look into it at some stage
The main features I use are:
Beautiful fonts! Just purchased the pack.
Thank you very much! Really appreciate the support, hope you find a good use for them :)
