I created a mono spaced pixel art font the other day - and I'd really love actually be able to use it as a font.

I tried to download this font maker thing but it was so goddamn complicated and it would convert my pixels to vectors and make them all "smooth" with rounded borders and sh*t.

So, I'm pretty frustrated with that. Is there anyone here who has experience with such things? Any kind of help is appreciated.

I just cleaned out the links section of the gallery and updated the fonts link including the online utility which does 75% of the work for you. click, click.

Wish there was a way to import what I already did into there. Either way, thanks, I'll give it a try!
