Yes. Look at the win32lib demo called "bitmaptext.exw"

This sounds different from writing onto a bitmap. Are you wanting to create a
bitmap from a word? This is done in a similar manner. Just create a PixMap, then
fill it's background color, write your word into it and then save it as a bitmap.
You will have to calculate the size of it using the text extent function.
