FamiTracker
Never had problems with it, but my friend told me the font size in the pattern editor is too small for him. Would be nice to have possiblity to choose font size in future versions.
I wonder how hard that would be for jsr to implement given the way he wrote FT? I would LOVE to create a bitmap font for this tracker if it were feasible to do so.
If I am not mistaken and my memory serves me right, I think you <i>could</i> change the font in the options menu... Too bad I don't have a copy of FT to verify that for you at the moment.
Edit: Though, I am quite sure it doen't take bitmap fonts yet.

You could change the font indeed, but not it's size. Well, I'm personally had no problems with the size because I use 120 DPI in Windows instead of standart 96 (makes everything larger, but distorst interfaces of some software, including previous versions of FamiTracker), and Verdana font, and my friend got problems because he used 96 DPI with some other font. Anyway, would be nice to be able to set needed font size without choosing certain fonts and changing Windows settings.
That's actually quite nice, nicetas_c (didn't mean the unintentional pun). Is there any software to create bitmap fonts that is freeware? This is something I might want to get into here.
BTW, sorry for not believing you...

I have heard [u]nice[/u] [u]t[/u]ool-[u]a[/u]ssisted [u]s[/u]peedruns actually. lol
I use [url=http://www.iseasoft.com/bfc.htm]BitFontCreator (DO NOT USE THE PRO VERSION, it is useless). Its trial version ends in 15 days though, so here is how you do it:
1. Run regedit.exe.
2. Go to [HKEY_CURRENT_USER] --> [Software] --> [IseaTech] --> [BitFontCreator x.x] --> [Settings]. (it should be there, but search IseaTech if it really isn't there)
3. Find [state2T].
4. Change the value to something that is not smaller than 2147483664 or 0x80000010.
5. The program is still in trial version though. After creating a bitmap font file, use any hex editor and modify all letters other than '0' to '9', 'A' to 'N' and 'a' to 'n'. These letters are [s][/s]ed (I don't know what it is called, haha). This procedure is very complex if you don't know how to do. I will attach an unedited Lights Plus Camera 10 for your reference. (doesn't help much either)
6. Serve hot.
*. Or more optimally, open an account [url=fontstruct.com]here. You will then realize that there are much more possibilities, as it grants you full ability to create TrueType fonts FREELY. Of course, that means you can make pixel fonts but they won't be supported until jsr makes an update.

I just created a font of my own called Arcade Standard which I will post later and which works in FT (based off of the old school arcade games who use this font set). See Bubble Bobble.
Also: YY-CHR was my best friend for editing this font. Just set it in vertcal to edit.
It's kind of weird how you have to set the bitmap fonts to have a 3-pixel ceiling in order to line up proper. I found that out the hard way, but I was able to lower all my fonts 3 pixels just by running my favorite hex editor (frHed - it's free and that good) and adding 3 bytes to the beginning of the actual bitmap data and subtracting 3 bytes from the end of the same. I don't want to do that again because THAT was a pain!
