I looked into that, and you can only use two, one is the userfont and the other is the default system font (for text editor and such).
On the wiki it says that multifont will eventually have to be good enough to get into svn if you want to use more than one font.

doesn't matter too much, anyway.
it kinda works with the svn, though it will look much better with viewports.

The text scrolling off the "container box" doesnt look good IMO, i think you should make it a bit like this:

I only thought viewports had a left margin, i.e. if you place the text at say, (110,50) then it wouldnt scroll past the left. Not sure if there is a right margin....

You'd be thoroughly mistaken then.

You're thinking of the scrolling margin tag, which only has a left edge.

Viewports allow margins to be defined, not just for the left and right edge, but for the top and bottom too.

exactly.
here's a screenshot of the viewports version.
the scrolling margins tag is still useful when using album art conditionals, though.
