Problems with XNB converting

[Blureshadow]

Not sure of I'm on the right thread, but why can't I convert XNB to png?

An unhandled exception of type 'Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Content.ContentLoadException' occurred in Microsoft.Xna.Framework.dll

Additional information: Error loading "chatFont". File contains Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics.SpriteFont but trying to load as Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics.Texture2D.

I use XNA GS 4.0 refresh version with VS2015

Are you sure that you have both XNA 4.0 and .NET 4.5 installed?

I have XNA 4.0 refresh, a version updated for Visual Studio 2015, which I do have installed, and the .net version is over that since I have win 10 (I tried downloading it just tobe sure and it told me I have a more updated version)

I am sorry to say that window 10 do not support xnb converting to png as well. Windows 10 broke them all.

Then can someone help me? I need the converted XNB files of fonts to png, and after I'm done with my font I'll need someone to convert them to XNB.

Then how do I add a custom font? the error in the main post is shown when trying to convert a font file to png.

yea Both methods works but the way they build is different.

is there a simple way to do this? I have the font in ttf format (or otf, I can't remember). I thought this was bmp fonts, not spritefonts. Is there a simple way to do it? Or a Program?
