PIL font questions

I'm trying to work with drawing fonts in the Python Imaging Library.
Questions:
1. I've never heard of BDF and PCF font descriptiors, and I certainly
don't have any on my Mac system. No fonts seem to be included with
PIL, either. So where can I get some fonts to use?
2. There doesn't seem to be any way within ImageFont and ImageDraw to
set the size of a font. To scale a font, do I have to just draw to a
temporary Image, then copy (transparent?) to my destination image with
scaling?
3. I presume the answer also applies to drawing rotated text, but
(here's hoping!) is there an easier way?
Thanks,
