Hi,

Can I draw on a bitmap using a Windows 3.0 fnt file (raster font
file) ?.

I would like to use the 'old' fnt file like af TTF doing this:

Bitmap Picture1 = new Bitmap(100, 20);
Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(Picture1);
g.DrawString("Hello World", new Font("Tahoma"),
Brushes.White, new RectangleF(0, 0, 0, 0));

Note: I must run on CF 2.0.

Thanks,

Henrik.

GDI+ is only compatible with OpenType fonts.

You can draw on the same graphics surface but you'll have to use the GDI
handle and Win32 API.
