Follow-up to #6600
The default size for generating BitmapFonts was 2048x2048, which is a very large image. Even if most of that is empty space, it's a big memory footprint for the GPU. I turned it down to something a little more reasonable: 512x512.
@SukantPal said that he might work on a heuristic to determine the optimal size based on the font size and character count. Until then, let's turn it down a bit.
Even if not all glyphs fit, they are spread across multiple pages, for instance:
