I'm faced with something similar.

I am useing incbm.e by Graeme Burke whereas I can essentially do anything
and include it with my program.
(my earlier 10+ meg .exe delima is not related to this by the way)

I have Jiri Babor's DOS Fonts displaying perfectly in Windows (see
fonster.zip on contrib page)
to see how I create the sequences of text. I then massage the sequence
alittle futher and
then use createDIB then I can set images of text, bmps, animation effects
etc.etc...

I hope to release a demo soon but, time on other projects have set the
release back.
The above is a general idea and yes cumbersome to implement but the results
are well worth it.

Animation would be easier if things like maskBlt make it into Win32Lib.

Subject: Win32lib graphics routines and pixmaps


| The following Win32lib routines don't work on Pixmaps:
|
| setPenColor()
| setPenPosition()
| drawRectangle()
| wPuts()
| setFont()
| drawEllipse()
|
| I need them to. I use pixmaps as virtual screens in a game I am
| writing in Win32lib. I want to be able to draw all my graphics
| and text to a virtual screen and then blit it to the window
| but these routines need a Window handle in the first parmeter.
