In this tutorial I will show you how to generate and import bitmap fonts in Unity3D with ShoeBox and GlyphDesigner.

UPDATE 07.07.2016: An Unity asset store plugin can convert your bitmap fonts for free: https://github.com/lite3/Unity-BitmapFontImporter
UPDATE 11.17.2015: Littera is an online tool. It works great and it’s free: http://kvazars.com/littera/
UPDATE: Unity 5.x, I updated the script but there is an issue with the space interline.

EDIT: GitHub repository

You can use your own custom font in your Unity games like this:

First of all we need to export a .xml file and a .png file.

You will also need this piece of code to generate a font compatible with Unity. I modified and found this C# script in the Unity forum.

Download and add this C# script in your Unity Assets folder: GitHub zip

The softwares

It exists several applications to export a bitmap font with a .xml file but in this tutorial we will use ShoeBox and GlyphDesigner:

ShoeBox: Free, Adobe Air required
GlyphDesigner: Shareware, Mac, Windows
Littera: Free, Online
bmGlyph: Shareware, Mac
etc.

Create Bitmap Fonts

Then do a Right Click on the .xml file
Click Generate Bitmap Font
The Script should generate a .material and a .fontsettings file
Now we use the font you just created in your scene
Create an UI > Text game object in your scene
Select the UI Text game object
In the inspector go to the Text(Script) component and add the .fontsettings file in the Character >Font field
Then add the .mat file in the Material field
Never use the Font Size value in the component but use the Scale of the game object instead
