It would appear that the primary method is to render into bit maps,
which you can do whatever you want with after that.  I seem to recall
that there is a facility for rendering directly into a buffer, however.
I'll do some more research on that when I get a chance -- I want to get
the schedule finished off first.

I'll bet.  I'll be looking into the whole font cache thing as well.
