You just need to use one or the other:
.res
Code: Select all
IMAGE custom_font "gfx/font.png" BEST
.c
Code: Select all
VDP_loadFont(custom_font.tileset, DMA);
should be enough to get your custom font loaded (i used IMAGE resource but the tileset as you did is also ok).
If you need to set a specific palette then don't forget to load the palette as well (by default text use PAL0 but you can change it)

Stef, using IMAGE and DMA my font didn't work correctly, instead of showing 60, it showed 71.
With the code below it works.
c
res
Code: Select all
TILESET custom_font "gfx/font.png" -1
Thank you!
Thank you again for SGDK 1.41!

Oh i guess it "optimized" the empty (space) character
You can disable IMAGE optimisation declaring it that way :
Code: Select all
IMAGE custom_font "gfx/font.png" BEST NONE
But TILESET may be better in the end to avoid that issue
