Create a fixed width font with BMFont?

Hi,

I'm trying to create my own watchface. I picked a otf font for time and converted it to png and fnt with BMFont. The only issue is that otf font was not a fixed width font and number 1 is much more narrow. This does not look good. Perhaps there is an option to fix this in BMFont? Otherwise I guess I'm off for nightmare of manual editing png file and fnt offsets :(

What on earth possessed you to choose such a distasteful handle as that?

Find a font that's fixed width if you don't want to manually edit the .fnt file, as the editing won't be a one time thing as you'll have to do it each time you need a different sized font for a different display resolution. Or just use the proportional width font as-is.

Yep, I'd have to tinker with the file each time. I was hoping that I missed something. Anyways, thanks for the answers!

Handle? It's an infosec job title ;)

EDIT: also each time someone is shocked by it I get a dollar ;)
