This information is relevant to version 1.12 of the bitmap font generator and only useful for full conversions.
You can find the bitmap font generator here: http://www.angelcode.com/products/bmfont/ (Windows only--lame, i know).
Once you have the program installed and opened, go to Options > Font Settings. Choose the font you want to convert and click OK (the rest can remain at their defaults).
Now go to Options > Export Options. Under Presets choose "White text with alpha." For Font descriptor choose "XML." For Textures choose "DirectDraw Surface." For Compression either one will work, but for best quality you're going to want to pick "DXT5." You can leave the rest at their defaults. Click OK.
Now make sure all the characters are selected by going to Edit > (Un)Select all chars.
Now all you need to do is go to Options > Save bitmap font as... and pick a place to save them at.
