Font Tool

i followed the instruction from the edge font tool and managed to make a font file from a png file. but it is a bmp file and when i converted it into a gif file and used it in my application, the font didn't work.
can you tell me the detailed steps to make a font? i think the instruction from the tool is quite short and not too helpful..
