bitmapFont(font, characterWidth, characterHeight, chars, charsPerRow, xSpacing, ySpacing, xOffset, yOffset) → {Phaser.BitmapFont}

characterWidth number

The width of each character in the font set.
characterHeight number

If the characters in the font set have horizontal spacing between them set the required amount here.
ySpacing number <optional>
 0

If the characters in the font set have vertical spacing between them set the required amount here.
xOffset number <optional>
 0

If the font set doesn't start at the top left of the given image, specify the X coordinate offset here.
yOffset number <optional>
