Well, what you would do is use the 1.4 editor. Here's the links for the downloads:

Mac OS X: Download it! (MacScratch1.4.dmg)
Windows: Download it! (ScratchInstaller1.4.exe)
Debiun/Ubuntu: Install with Software Center or Download it! (scratch_1.4.0.6~dfsg1-2~ubuntu12.04.1_all.deb)
Or, the actual link for the download page.

After you've set up Scratch 1.4, you will see the Scratch 1.4 editor. You probably won't understand it ENTIRELY, because it's 1.4, not 2.0. But that doesn't matter way too much. What you've got to do next is go to the area for the costumes. To do that, select (or make) your sprite, and select the “costumes” tab. Then, just click New costume and select the text tool! Then, using the font selector, you can change your font to any font you have on your computer. I wish they would add that to 2.0, but for now, that's all you can really do.

Hope this helps!

An easier way is just to write the text in paint with a transparent background, and just upload it to your project.
