Plash

1) I dunno, got any links? Probably using png/bitmap or TrueType fonts.
2) If you have the correct copy-rights to the font(s), yes.
3) Check the documentation and search the forums. LoadImageFont, SetImageFont and DrawText.
4) You should be able to, I haven't really used fonts that much - I'm currently doing a lot of software.
