Are there other ways of handling text than <text> and <print>?
Does a font have to be in the Windows font directory before it can be used? I have tried putting a path to a font:

myfont = LoadFont("fonts/unusual.fon",14,True,False,False)

but all I get is some awful default, Times New Roman or something. Any tips on font and text handling would be appreciated.
