Yes.

Darwinbots does it for background pictures. I added that code about six months ago.

You can load a bitmap of jpg directly into the "picture" aspect of many controld like "forms", "pictureboxes", "command buttons" etc.

See above post.

Darwinbots does it from inside the code. From the menu bar, you can load background pictures from any picture file and attach them to form1.backpic.

Check DB for the code as I can't remember it off the top of my head.

I had a font editor that came with my MSVC 1.0 way back in the day.

You can probably find one freeware somewhere.

Whatever text box you want to write to probably has a selector to let you pick a font.
