I want to use a custom font in my game, but I don't know what the best way is.

1. Make individual sprites/bg/tile for one character
2. Overlap the fonts on the sprites/bg/tile
3. Make sprites/bg in tile mode.

Which one is best, and how can I implement it?
I think first is a good way to render a font..
(The fonts have transparent background)

There isn't really a right answer to this, it largely depends on how you intend to use the font in game.

If you plan to use a 8px fixed width font, the faster approach is to use a text BG for that. If you want to use a variable width font, I guess you will be forced to render them on a bitmap BG. There can be other options in between

There's always my partially completed graphics console lib, that I've got to update at some point, just finding time between work and relaxing is hard.
