One of our investigators is looking for C subroutines that will allow the 
translation of ASCII text into pixels in a memory-resident bitmap.  
Commercial, shareware, freeware, .... all are fine.  Do these routines exist?

In particular, he has an image of an x-ray in a large RAM memory.  He wants 
to lay text (various fonts, point sizes, etc) on top of the image to allow 
the entire bitmap image to be printed.  It would be very tedious to write 
the software to convert the letter "A" to a series of pixels that need to be 
turned on.  He is hoping that such software exits.


Anyone offer a lead?
