There used to be a function called draw_text_sprite(). Why isn't it used any more?
What happened to draw_text_sprite()?

No idea, but use font_add_sprite to create custom fonts.

I really don't like it that draw_text_sprite() was removed. Maybe they were trying to simplify things or something but draw_text_sprite() worked just fine and din't need to be changed. If anything they could have added font_add_sprite() in addition but left the old draw_text_sprite() there. I suppose you could always write your own script called draw_text_sprite() which does the exact same thing as the old funcion did...

Actually, it would be very simple:Maybe I could, but it wouldn't be easy. Besides, I was just curious.
//draw_text_sprite(x, y, str, sprite)
var p;
for (p = 0 p < string_length(argument2) p += 1)
draw_sprite(argument3, ord(string_char_at(argument2, p + 1)), argument0 + sprite_get_width(argument3) * p, argument1)
