I have an image with the characters to create a TTF file, but I don't know of any tool to facilitate the creation of pixel art fonts. Is there any software that you recommend me to do this task?

If you're attempting to use a pixel art font in your GMS game, you don't need to make a TTF file. Instead, load the image into your game, with each character as a separate subimage (frame) of your sprite. Then, you can use either font_add_sprite or font_add_sprite_ext to create a font using this sprite.
Hmm, this alternative is great. I didn't see it when I read the GMS documentation. Thank you very much.
