Hi I found this wonderfull freeware: FontBitmaper

- http://www.cyberphaze.com/p_fontbitmapper.htm

Font Bitmapper is a utility designed to convert fonts into a matrix of bitmap characters.  Fonts are usually required in this format for games, demos, web counters and similar applications.  Using bitmapped fonts in programs has its advantages.  It is often faster in terms of CPU speed, you don't need any special libraries to use, and there are no hassles of font copyrights.  Also, with a few simple effects from your favourite graphics program you can enhance the produced bitmapped fonts with colours, textures, shadows and other effects.
