Elysian Shadows

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.

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.

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