How to create a new font with "mkblfont.exe" for gfxmenu?

Anyone know how to do it? I tried a lot of combinations, but none results...
are there any tool to convert .TTF fonts into .FNT compatible with gfxmenu?
I tried with the file 16x16.fnt of SuSe ant it works! but I want more

Usage: mkblfont [options] fontfile
Build font for boot loader.
-a, --add=first[-last]
Add chars from this range.
-c, --add-charset=charset
Add all chars from this charset.
-f, --font=font_spec
Use this font. Spec format is fontname[option1 option2 ...]
-h, --help
Show this help text.
-l, --line-height=n
Set line height (default: font height).
-p, --font-path=font path
Font path, elements separated by ':'.
-s, --show
Show font info.
-t, --add-text=samplefile
Add all chars used in this file. File must be UTF-8 encoded.
-v, --verbose
Dump font info.

I tried with the file 16x16.fnt of SuSe ant it works! but I want more  

From what package you take Mkblfont?
Which version of gfxboot do you use?

thanks a lot ded! the script works fine! but I have more questions:
1-why no matters the number that I put in "Font Size:" but only "The height of text string:"?
2- how I can setup the space between lines of the menu?

Thanks again. It's obviously that you are a master on this!

Balance between size and height can help you achieve the desired effect. Compare two versions:

CALIBRI-sz14-h17_5 +2.jpg

and CALIBRI-sz22-h12_5 +2.jpg

Alternative. If you have a source of gfxboot (*. inc-files), you can edit them. It's that simple.  Topic on editing scripts is located HERE

PS Gfxboot @DED-LEGO@ has a special parameter "s.menu.slit" for this

I do not use your release Ded, because it seems to me very complicated.
The files of the release that I use contains this files:
16x16.fnt
back.jpg
en.hlp
en.tr
es.hlp
es.tr
gfxboot.cfg
init
lang
languages
pabout.txt
panim.jpg
panim_a.jpg
pback.jpg
phead.jpg
timer_a.jpg

with this, how can I change the space between lines of the menu?

will work editing the .inc-files? Where I can download that .inc files?

Thanks to you I have great progress in my project...

Your gfxboot includes file gfxboot.cfg. So I think that you are working with gfxboot_3.3 This version is a development from the highly respected Bean123 .

Topic can be found at http://reboot.pro/7155/. There is also the source that is necessary for you *. inc-files

Try to compile your gfxboot. If this step is successful, then proceed to editing of the inc-scripts.

I have one request. I'm trying to collect tips inc-scripts in the topic "GFXboot, editing, animation, @ DED-LEGO @ examples *. inc scripts editing". So when you're ready to second step, then place a post in this topic please .
