Spotato, you might want to take this to one of the
comp.os.ms-windows.programmer groups, it is entirely off-topic here! But as
a hint, don't bother creating your own render, but let Windows render this
for you! If it is not already, install the font using the API and draw to a
bitmap (either visible or not) - you can extract whatever you need from that
(maybe make some cropping function).

Good luck,
