I Have a Really Complex Question...
So I want to draw text to an off screen area in memory then copy it to a DirectX texture, how would I do this? I hear I need to some how draw the text to a HBITMAP and copy that to the texture but how?

directx accomodates bitmap fonts that you can directly print to textures.
Some person, "I have a black belt in karate"
Dad, "Yea well I have a fan belt in street fighting"

Yeah I'm using them right now but the sprite interface wont let me layer them the way I want. I need to do it this way, it's hard to explain why but I do and I don't know how.avansc wrote:directx accomodates bitmap fonts that you can directly print to textures.

I need a diagram on how the ID3DX10Font interface works, anyone know where I can find one? I'd like to copy the process.
