I’ve recently translated this implementation of BitmapFonts to FlashPunk.
It surely needs more testing, but it’s already a feature-complete port of the original.
It supports various formats (AngelCode’s, Pixelizer, serialized) and graphic properties (outline, shadow, multiline, background, align, etc.).
You can find out more info from the README on the github repo. Any feedback is more than welcome!
Here’s a basic demo (no ttfs involved, ha!):

BitmapFontTest.swf (133.7 KB) - yeah, this is for you @zachwlewis
- online swf
PS: Have you checked out this wonderful free tools for BitmapFonts yet:
Also… might look into adding a DistanceField implementation (sounds quite interesting!) if I have the time.
