Do some forum searching on how to create and save a bitmap with GDI.

Here is my 'Help file' on the DrawString. Does it not work for you?

#include <GuiConstantsEx.au3>
#include <GDIPlus.au3>

Opt('MustDeclareVars', 1)

_Main()

Func _Main()
    Local $hGUI, $hWnd, $hGraphic

    ; Create GUI
    $hGUI = GUICreate("GDI+", 400, 300)
    $hWnd = WinGetHandle("GDI+")
    GUISetState()

    ; Draw a string
    _GDIPlus_Startup ()
    $hGraphic = _GDIPlus_GraphicsCreateFromHWND ($hWnd)
    _GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawString ($hGraphic, "Hello world", 140, 110)

    ; Loop until user exits
    Do
    Until GUIGetMsg() = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

    ; Clean up resources
    _GDIPlus_GraphicsDispose ($hGraphic)
    _GDIPlus_Shutdown ()

EndFunc   ;==>_Main

If the text exists in a DC you can use selectobj or some shit to get it into an hbitmap ... to create text DC perhaps search the forum for CreateTextRgn

If you're trying to do this on the fly... something like:

CreateCompatibleDC

CreateBitmap

TextOut or DrawText

Would probably work.
