Here's a simple solution to use (all of) the genuine PSP fonts:

It features the stuff you see above plus: variable size glyph cache, pre-caching, fast speed (as little as 35ms initial loadtime per font; up to 100,000 chars/sec), low memory requirements (as little as 66kB per font) and no dependencies (e.g. freetype).

The archive contains samples for GU and graphics.h - just look at them to see how to use intraFont and read the readme.

(If you used pgeFont by InsertWittyName (http://insomniac.0x89.org) before: you'll feel right at home since intraFont uses parts of pgeFont - but intraFont doesn't need the freetype library!)

Let me know what you think and have fun!

Thanks for the release Benhur, looks like a great package. Hopefully a lot of simpler programs will now have one less reason to use the generic ascii debug font. Should be a major help for internationalizing applications as well. I deffinitely have a couple of apps that could majorly benefit from this.

All in all this is one of the most personally exciting libraries I've seen in a while.
