DX takes in .ttf right? So if you make your own .ttf and load it with DX you have a font engine, eh?

.ttf (true type font)

Maybe I am wrong but it is strange if it does''t take in .ttf''s.

How do you mean custom font?

Do you mean a set of letters creating a large image which is used to generate textures of the individual letters that make up the font?
