'How do I compile a Spritefont file into an XNB file?
So I've very recently started trying to program a game with a friend of mine. I found some well made tutorials on FNA and I've been using that and everything's worked great so far, except this one thing. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to compile a .spritefont file into an .xnb file.
With a lot of searching I managed to find a spritefont template, and I even found a program (XNA 4.0 Content Compiler) that's supposed to do exactly what I need, but when I add the spritefont I want and say build it gives an error I wasn't able to find answers for online. This feels like something that should be a way simpler task than it's being right now and would appreciate any help.
The error the compiler program throws:
