I stumbled across https://www.pentacom.jp/pentacom/bitfontmaker2/ I redrew every one of my letters into the website then clicked the "Build font" button in the lower left and it spit out a *.ttf font. Tested the font in Unity3D and it worked great.

You can use an Adobe Air app called Shoebox to make manually drawn fonts. You basically draw all the characters into an image, from left to right with a bit of space between them. In Shoebox you type out those same characters and adjust some settings like kerning and line spacing. Then it can export a bitmap font that you can load in LibGDX. The font consists of a .fnt file and one or more.png files. Put them all in your assets directory and load the font using the .fnt file's name in the BitmapFont constructor.
