Is using fonts created/exported from BMFont the only way to use bitmap fonts?

For bitmap fonts, it seems the only files Godot accepts are the files created specifically using BMFont. Is that the case?

I ask since BMFont is Windows-only. Which I can handle with but it’s not ideal.

I can confirm that the format is from BMFont.

Though I also noticed that on BMFont’s homepage there’s links to third party tools that also export fnt files. Including an [online converter] (requires Flash), an Adobe Air application, and a Java application.
