problem getting font to work with XNAExtras

I'm not sure if this is the correct place for help with XNAExtras, but I couldn't find any other forum about it.

Anyway, I downloaded the tool, included the correct classes and made a .xml file and an image for the font I want to use with the tool that comes with XNAExtras. I included XNAExtras with the project and have all the code from the example programs included, but when I run my program, it tells me that the font I'm trying to use when I create a new BitmapFont object can't be found. Copying the same two font files into the existing font example causes the same error. However, when I try to copy the font files that were initially in the example and work fine there back to my own project, I get the same error in my own project.

    Just so I have this right, if you use the raw font files from the samples they work fine, but when you create your own they don't..

    Could you put together a sample project and upload it some where.

    I'll try to upload the project I was working with. The only thing that works is the sample files in the sample project. The sample files don't work in my own project and the files I created don't work in either project.

    EDIT: I have to get my FTP client working properly with a proxy, so I'm not sure when I will be able to upload a sample project.
