Have a bitmap for each letter, or even construct the letters using setPixel. Incidently, I did a little test comparing text, fields and an 'imaging lingo font' where each character is described as a list and created on the fly. Imaging was easily the fastest when the individual characters are pre-rendered, and for smallish fonts was still faster even when creating each character on the fly.
