Truetype/vector fonts as accessed via the text command are not what I meant by my option 2. Using such fonts is limited by the Text command. You can't rotate or resize such fonts without recourse to image grabbing trickery, which is less than optimal.

My idea of a vector font is really a very simple font described as a set of coordinates rendered as filled polys, or a bunch of flat, or even slightl chunky, 3D objects representing each character in the font. Nice animated menus are then very easy to do.
