pre render the letters and or numbers to graphics and use them as sprites or 3d plains on the screen when required.

Dont know if this will help but you dont need to prepare texts in paint program. you may print your text on screen or second bitmap and then grab te letters or whole words into images using


but I dont know why you say that sprites or images doesnt work for you.
