I was testing the registerBitmapFontFromFile method of sparrow, but I can't get it to work correctly.
I used http://slick.cokeandcode.com/demos/hiero.jnlp to generate the bitmap font (I am on OS X, maybe someone has any hints about some other bitmap generator?), but I keep getting the error:
uncaught exception: could not parse bitmap font xml menu.fnt. Error code: 4, domain: NSXMLParserErrorDomain
2009-02-11 14:43:37.950 Test[78379:207] *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'FileInvalid', reason: 'could not parse bitmap font xml menu.fnt. Error code: 4, domain: NSXMLParserErrorDomain'
EDIT: I just noticed that hiero does not generate correct xml for the .fnt file.
Is there any os x application that I can use to create correct bitmap fonts?
