Can you use Nikon DX lenses?

Does the Nikon DX lenses work on the GH1?

Yep, Micro 4/3 is a smaller format than DX (marked as Nikon APS-C on the chart) so it'll work well. Naturally you need an adaptor to mount the lens. You'll probably want a Nikon lens with an aperture ring, though.

sorry but what does that greenish or brownish text say at the bottom left and bottom top right? i have a red/green color weakness i cant read it. and the red keeps shifting back and forth like a VR/IS/OS system gone bonkers lol

DX lenses cover the gh1 sensor, the issue is how do you control aperture on a modern lens
with no aperture ring. The answer is here

Nice adapter, but link is nomore. Adapter looks like for a RED camera anyway or can this also fit a GH1?

I like Ciecio's adapters a lot (I have one for older Nikons with inbuilt aperture control), but I would also point you to Jinfinance. I have this one and use it a lot with a Tamron (Nikon mount) 17-50 f2.8. It works well and the aperture control is very quick. I understand Ciecio's with the thumbwheel is very slow. I'm not attacking that design...just pointing out another one. Here it is:
