This code shows what you can do with D3DFunc.

The time take to resize a font is dependent on its size. once it gets quite large it can take multiple seconds. My advice would be to create the fonts in advance at the required sizes. Currently you can have 20 fonts, but this could be increased if people require it.
You will obviously need the dll to run the sample.
