There are a lot of examples out there, but I was hoping something could
help me further. I'd like to draw text (unknown length) to an image,
but then crop the image to the height and width of the text. Is this
possible?

I'm guessing I can get the height from the Font.Height property. But
how do I go about getting the width of the drawn text?

Also, are there any tip for drawing fairly smooth fonts?

Thanks,

Jason

Check out the Graphics.MeasureString() method for measuring your text.
And for smoothing, check out the Graphics.SmoothingMode property.
