Proper font rendering is a complex beast. I've started working on my first own Dreamcast project and getting anti-aliased TTF/OTF rendering with full Unicode support and multi-language text-wrapping right and performant is quite the exercise. :lol:

I see there have also been updates to megavolt's repo. I guess I'll have a look at integrating those into my fork soon-ish.
The fonts are BMFont format but with the texture as pvr. Good luck.
Also check out intrafont if you want simple cross platform performant rendering
