I've started making my game in V3 and quite quickly, I realized I was going to need to make my own font... what is the setup for the font image and it looks like V3 will just take a png as a font... is that true? but once again, how am I to set up the image?

First, set the maximum of size of your characters (7x9 is standard in VERGE) and then have a 1 pixel padding to seperate each character. The font can be a gif, png, jpeg (not reccommended), or pcx, as far as I know. There a quite a few demos with fonts included. Check them out if it helps.

BUT you still have to use FUSCHIA as your transparent color. PNG alpha is ignored.

VERGE 3 supports alpha blitting, but does not presently lead alphamaps from formats with them built-in. If you want to have alpha translucency, you need to load two seperate images (the base image and the greyscale alpha mask for it) and alpha-blit them together.
I could be more clear, but I'm about to go to sleep.

will there be the alpha mask thing for text too? it seems easy enough to implement seeing as you already have it for blitting.

You could have a command similar to EnableVariableWidth() to enable an alpha mask for a font, like:
EnableAlphaFont(int font, int alphamask)
