yes I post that a lot JamesEngage. It will turn any regular font into a pixel font for you,. Your site will be original.

Cheers, I actually need to edit and create pixel fonts, I've created some successfully using Simplefont, however it exports .tff's with far too may vertices and ends up tripling the file size!...just looking for some sort of alternative

The Russian one will work. However, you'll need to buy it. It restricts from full letters in trial.

Does the Russian one allow you to create your own fonts?...all it lets me do is convert existing fonts from bitmap to pixel...am I missing something?

it just allows you to convert existing fonts, let's say Helvetica, Arial, etc. and turn them into pixel fonts. TTF

The program he reccomends is the shit, I've made a few pixel fonts and it's sooo easy.

Gotta be Simple Font.
just pencil/eraser and export.
it´s 39 € but well worth it...

I found simplefont very easy to use but quite buggy, the ttf files it exports are way too bulky as well...
