Import font bitmaps ("retro" systems)

Have you tried the Pixel Import mode on the import bitmap dialogue?

You mean one character at a time? I was looking for a way to import entire ranges of characters within a bitmap. Like, selecting a rectangle with the mouse, telling it the box size, and start and stop characters to map to.

One can only import one image at a time from the dialogue, but if you do one you can save the settings as the default, then use drag and drop from Windows Explorer to import a whole load of individual bitmaps at once.

If all glyphs are in a single bitmap, see Scanning an Entire Alphabet for a quicker method than using the import image dialogue. Again, set your defaults to pixel mode first.
