 `ActorFrame` already has an extremely, _extremely_ complicated setup powering it in the back-end; and `ActorScroller` is way too niche for me to give it the same treatment. Sorry!
 
+#### `BitmapText`
+
+If you want to specify theme-provided fonts, that's easy enough:
+
+```lua
+local text1 = BitmapText(nil, 'test') -- defaults to 'common'
+local text2 = BitmapText('_wendy white', 'test')
+local text3 = BitmapText('_misobold white', 'test')
+```
+
+However, providing custom fonts is a bit tedious due to a [vanilla bug](https://discord.com/channels/227650173256466432/666629297544495124/1023573412028891177) that's annoying to work around. In order to specify a custom font, consider the _root path_ to be in `template/`. For example, if you want to load a font from your `src/` folder, you'd do:
+
+```lua
+local text = BitmapText('../src/_inter v 22px.ini', 'test')
+```
+
 ### Shaders
 
 Shaders cannot be manually defined on actors [due to a technical limitation](https://discord.com/channels/227650173256466432/666629297544495124/1022119161415077909); plus, it wouldn't make much sense to integrate them in the same way that NotITG integrates shaders with the current XML behavior. In order to give an actor a shader, you need to define them seperately:
