You don't need a memblock...

CREATE BITMAP using text height and text length
TEXT the text to the bitmap

done.

Now you can create an image, sprite etc from the bitmap.

But why use a memblock? That would involve

1. Create Bitmap
2. Add text
3. Make Memblock from bitmap
4. Make bitmap from memblock

At point 2, you've already accomplished it. And there is no other way to get your font into the memblock without writing it on a bitmap first.
