I have come to the conclusion that using different size text in one screen is not possible is the screen is controlled by a loop and has animation inside.

I have tried to wite the text to a seperate bitmap and copy it back as a sprite , this is also slow.

I feel that the solution to this problem would be to use an animated sprite with all the letters and numbers per font type and size within this animated sprite. Getting the ascii value and setting the frame would give the correct character.

If anyone has done something like this I would appreciate a copy snippet if possible.

Thanks
