CUSTOM FONTS FOR RM2K3

Can anyone help me out here? I want to put my own custom font into my game. I haven't had any luck looking through the forms for help or even on google.
"You can replace the fonts in Rm2k3 with your own fonts, just rename them and place them in the C:/Windows/Fonts."

What I found on some other forum.
Plus this link, but that requires you to go into the 2k3 program itself: http://cherrytree.at/cms/
I have only been able to figure out one way to get the font of 2k3 to look exactly how I want. It includes drawing each letter by hand. You up for that? It's simple and easy, just takes time. Probably less time then searching for a good font or a different method.

When I tried to get a classic Zelda font in my game, I spent hours searching and trying different fonts. Nothing worked. Whenever a font was compatible with 2k3, it was squished and unreadable. So I found out the dimensions of the font size that 2k3 is compatible with and drew the font myself using the classic Zelda font as a reference. The compatible size is much smaller than most fonts so most of them just can't work. I had to draw mine smaller than the original.

I was going to write a tutorial about it last year when I figured it out but never did. Maybe I should...between other projects.
Thanks NoicreC and Data. I'll give it a go and see what I can come up with.
I will get around to writing that tutorial.
Here is a font I drew in Fony http://rpgmaker.net/media/content/users/9179/locker/ff2.fon
Load it up in Fony and edit it to look like your font.

5 pixels wide and about 7 or 9 high. Keep the filename short and go into Properties to use the same name there.
