Is there any utilities out there for generating an a file that I can use with an atlas label from a font file?

In v0.8 you have BitmapFontAtlas.

You can use the charmap tool that's talked about in the following page :

You can generate a fontatlas using http://slick.cokeandcode.com/demos/hiero.jnlp
There is sample code in the cocos distribution, the following worked for me (after adding the generated files to the project);
BitmapFontAtlas *score_label = [BitmapFontAtlas bitmapFontAtlasWithString:@"" fntFile:@"stap_text.fnt"]; // left align the text score_label.anchorPoint = ccp(0.0f, 0.0f); score_label.position = ccp(127,268); [self addChild:score_label]; [score setString:string];To change the alignment try changing the anchorPoint, setting it to ccp(0.5f, 0.0f) should give you a center alignment. ccp(1.0f, 0.0f) a right alignment. Change the second value in each case to alter the vertical alignment.
You may also want to check the license on the font before you distribute it.
