The only way I can think of is to design the font yourself and use getimage
and putimage (and store the images to a file), but then you need a routine
which translates a string into the correct series of putimage's (i.e. write
your own outtext).  This isn't an insurmountable task, but it is rather
annoying that Borland provided no way to create bit-mapped fonts.  Does
anyone (Duncan?) have a better solution?
