Couldn't you tell us?

It's not that I really want to know but, just so that the info is here in case someone wants to know at a later time.

Once I asked Ken how that worked and he said something about taking renders of the letters at different somethings and merging them together. I asked him if he could look into an image to font converter or something, and he said it would be complicated but he might look at it. This was a while ago, back when he did the BZ1 font for BZClassic, which is impossible with that editor as it would come out kinda fuzzy.

Only problem with the Fontedit's made fonts is that they are VERY unpredictable...... Hell, my BZ1 font is very, VERY messed up...
(letters too high, low, oh and M is N :P)

I wish Ken could make a nice simple TGA(Folder) to BMF exe, or OM, or anyone else.

Do you have documentation for the BMF format?

I think it may be a special proprietary one for BZ2, but you should be able to get info from Ken, since he is the one who made that font program in the first place (if I remember correctly).
