love.graphics.newImageFont
Creates a new Font by loading a specifically formatted image.
In versions prior to 0.9.0, LÖVE expects ISO 8859-1 encoding for the glyphs string.

This function can be slow if it is called repeatedly, such as from love.update or love.draw. If you need to use a specific resource often, create it once and store it somewhere it can be reused! |

Examples
Create a simple image font
Download this image file which will be used by LÖVE to create the font. Of course, when you want to create a font for your game you probably want to make the background transparent instead of black.
local font = love.graphics.newImageFont("font_example.png", " ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789")
function love.draw()
love.graphics.setFont(font)
love.graphics.print("ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789", 16, 16)
love.graphics.print("Text is now drawn using the font", 16, 32)
end
