I want to use a font but every bitmap font i created doesn't work.
Is there any FREE Program for creating bitmap fonts that will work with Irrlicht?

did you make the bitmaps in the font tool that comes with irrlicht?

Is there a way to make it look smother or more detailed?

havent messed around with them, but they are bitmap fonts so they are limited to the actual pixels. however if you make them bigger, the red/yellow dots tell how big the letters are, that 'might' make them seem smoother, but at the cost of making the font larger itself (unless there is a font size command im unaware of)

Also, if you're using font smoothing in windows, it'll mess up the font tool result and make your font look wrong.
