IMAGE FONTS

I'm looking for fonts that are in image format (.png or .bmp) but my searches led to truetype fonts (.ttf or .otf).

Do you know where to find fonts in image format ?

Do you know tools to convert the truetype format into image?

Like ones that use Victor's bitmap font script? I've found like one on my own and it was the Final Fantasy Tactics script. I have made a couple for a future project. I don't think there's an easy tool to convert them (at least, I don't know of it). I had to do it myself in photoshop and kind of trial-and-error it.
Actually, I'm coding a custom engine so what I need is an image holding the font like:



The above is a 8pt font and, to improve readability here, I want to test larger sizes. But tools to generate the images file like http://www.text2image.com produce fuzzy outline.

A website that stores various fonts in image format, in various sizes, would be perfect.
You can actually use my Picture Text Creator for this (https://rpgmaker.net/engines/custom/utilities/78/ ), as it can print any true type font without the "fuzzy" outlines (pure single colored pixels all the way through). Just select the "system font" tab on the lower right. I should warn you, though, that many true type fonts don't look very good when not anti-aliased (the proper word for the "fuzziness" you're encountering).

Related, if you want to "extract" bitmap fonts (extension .fon) you can just type the letters in Paint on a white background. That's what I did to get the Tiny Font.

EDIT: Fixed the link.
Thanks for the link, I've posted a comment on the tool page.
For converting ttf fonts into a bmp/png image, I've used this program in the past:

Has settings for edge scaling (anti-aliasing/none/etc) and numerous other stuff.
Quite a useful tool as well. It's always nice to have a good set of tools. Thanks PepsiOtaku.
