I recommend trying Hiero. It can convert any installed system font or font file into .fnt.

You can download it from BadLogicGames.

• Open runnable-hiero.jar
• Select the font you want to convert.
  • For installed fonts on your PC: Select System
  • For downloaded font files: Select File and choose a font by clicking ...
• In the menubar, select File → Save BMFont files (text)
• Choose a save location and filename ending in .fnt

If done correctly, you should have two files for font_name.fnt and font_name.png
