ResourceImporterBMFont
======================

**Inherits:** :ref:`ResourceImporter<class_ResourceImporter>` **<** :ref:`RefCounted<class_RefCounted>` **<** :ref:`Object<class_Object>`

Imports a bitmap font in the BMFont (``.fnt``) format.

.. rst-class:: classref-introduction-group

Description
-----------

The BMFont format is a format created by the `BMFont <https://www.angelcode.com/products/bmfont/>`__ program. Many BMFont-compatible programs also exist, like `BMGlyph <https://www.bmglyph.com/>`__.

Compared to :ref:`ResourceImporterImageFont<class_ResourceImporterImageFont>`, **ResourceImporterBMFont** supports bitmap fonts with varying glyph widths/heights.

See also :ref:`ResourceImporterDynamicFont<class_ResourceImporterDynamicFont>`.

Property Descriptions
---------------------

.. _class_ResourceImporterBMFont_property_compress:

.. rst-class:: classref-property

:ref:`bool<class_bool>` **compress** = ``true``

If ``true``, uses lossless compression for the resulting font.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

.. _class_ResourceImporterBMFont_property_fallbacks:

.. rst-class:: classref-property

:ref:`Array<class_Array>` **fallbacks** = ``[]``

List of font fallbacks to use if a glyph isn't found in this bitmap font. Fonts at the beginning of the array are attempted first.
