MenuItemFontAtlas error on create

I get the following error when trying to create a MenuItemAtlasFont in cocos2dx-2.2.1:

My call: var item = cc.MenuItemAtlasFont.create(‘My text’, ‘font.fnt’, 200, 100, ’ ');
My project runs fine without that line of code
My fnt file works in LabelBMFont
My fnt file is in txt format (non xml)
My fnt file was generated with [Littera][1]
My app crashes with that line
I tried to change the parameter ‘font.fnt’ to ‘font.png’ (the two files exists) and got no crash, but the item doesn’t draw (I’ve added it to a Menu with existing and visible items).

TIA
