An easy way to create Pixel Fonts

PixFont 2.0 from Kgroup is a small TrueType Font to TrueType Pixel font converter.

By default used fonts are smoothed by Flash so small fonts are becoming illegible that way. A resolution to this problem is to use pixel fonts.

With PixFont 2.0 you can generate a TrueType Pixel font of the font you want to use in Flash. As a welcome advanced feature, PixFont 2.0 also lets create fonts from bitmaps directly. This means that you can draw your own pixel fonts as well.

Note that PixFont is not a valid Win32 application: at least that's the message I get when trying to launch this tool in Windows 2000 professional!
