Bitmap font generator can creates fonts in black and white only. I'm looking for more advanced tool. Share you experience on it please. Thanks in advance.

What's wrong with the fonts in black and white? With a white font texture you can use the same texture for all possible colors simply by multiplying.

Personally, I use SharpDX's SpriteFont.

This one (http://www.nubik.com/SpriteFont/), which is oddly enough also named SpriteFont, has more features than BmFont.

I think many games just photoshop their bitmap fonts.
