I was working on a project with Bitmap fonts.
So I had fnt + png files, but defold did not understand them. It turned out, that fnt file was in xml format and defold only reads text format.
I did not find a way to make ShoeBox or Hiero or Bitmap Font Generator do the convertion for me. Though they read the xml version without problems.
So I wrote simple converter on c#. And I upload it here, in case someone ever need it.FontXmlToTextConverter.zip (31.5 KB)
I used Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition to build it. This archive has both source code and exe file for lazy ones.

Contacted the author of the web tool, and he added txt output that supports Defold!
I love the internet!
