Title says all... anyone knows one? I need one for the big font in doom and the standard small font and I have no idea how to do this -_-°

For the big font (internal name BigFont; the one you see as headers in the options menu) you have to create a DBIGFONT replacement. http://zdoom.org/files/utils/imagetool.zip contains an example and plenty of documentation to achieve this.

An alternate way is to import the graphic for each big font character into your WAD and use [wiki]FONTDEFS[/wiki] to replace BigFont. This only works in the latest SVN version though.

For the small font (internal name SmallFont) you just replace the STCFN*** lumps.

I wish you could use a DBIGFONT style font for the small font. Cutting out tons of tiny graphics is much fiddlier to work with than having one big one.

Ditto. I've spent many, many hours in my life cutting STCFN*** lumps.
