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. See
