Custom BMP font

I there. I'd like to request a custom font for a game I'm probably (and hopefully) going to be selling after it's made. I'd like the font to have a border, and be slightly gradient filled (black & white). I'd like the border to be black but slightly transparent (to match the bg of the window if it changes colors).

Thanks in advance :)

I can make you a .ttf font like that. However, the gradient would have to go from black to transparent.

I'll be fine with just a border font :)

Great, you'll save me a lot of work. I'll need more details though, message me in wherever.skype, private message here, irc, that's all the options i guess, it's probably better to message me on skype, private message works too, i'm not on irc as often anymore

It turns out I can't make it an inline font as it would be completely unreadable at small sizes, and making the border thicker doesn't help much.
