here's a crude photoshop script (CS tested only) to create a bitmap font, its still wip but is working enough for you guys to have a play with it
has slider to select font, also colour and rotation value
suggest merging text layers and boshing a style on that layer when yer happy with the layout
but at least this takes out most of the work in creating a bitmap font
thers a readme bit at the top of the script
its not 100% there yet and is a prototype script atm
put in presets/scripts folder and call from the scripts menu
it cycles through each letter and adds a layer per character so they can be adjusted if need be
its based on 18pt font atm, i tend to create one font such as an 18pt and then scale it up/down to suit further options of reducing text size from a menu sort of thing, all you need to do is to scale it down by a factor of 31, 3 by fontsize
ie default image size is 558*54 = 31*18 by 3*18
no doubt i'll be tweaking this more, its not perfect by any means but its a start
