Font lump?
I have 2 font lumps (BIGFONT and SMALLFNT), but putting them in the fonts folder doesn't do anything, and putting them in the root directory also does nothing. Do I actually just have to make an individual image for each character?

Re: Font lump?
It's a while since I did this, but I *think* the BIGFONT lump is meant to be named DBIGFONT.
They should work in the root of your PK3. If they aren't working, have you checked that the font lumps have actually saved correctly?
Edit: yep, I just tried and a DBIGFONT and a SMALLFNT lump in the root of a PK3 worked perfectly for me.
