Hey thanks Burfelt! The system I'm currently developing is much similar to yours. BTW nice to see you on the french side of the force.

There are methods to do bitmap font ourselves, but putting up such a system is tedious and has some downwards (like creating 1 active per letter).
I'd really like to see an in-built bitmap font system. François knows that this is needed to reach a pro result in our apps. He said he'll work on it during August, but I don't know what the dev status is.
This a thread dedicated to bitmap font here on the french forums, with some ideas of mine:
