I’ve tried to create new fonts using sdk rc2 but no success. I see that the generated file has ASCII charset. Is there a way to easily create fonts for different character sets like ISO 8859-2 or ideally Unicode?
You should be able to use a program like BMFont. It supports pretty much all characters and creates .fnt and images. I think image formats can be chosen freely.
It still can’t find the correct character and it doesn’t even show the chars, just black rectangles like there something wrong with the generated png file. Although it seems correct when I open it in Irfan view.
I’m not sure if it is bug in Nifty or BMFont (or me 
) but the problem with black rectangles instead of letters was solved by assigning glyphs to all channels (RGBA) like this:

Czech letter work after selecting correct pages in BMFont.
