    Drawing fonts on surface

    Hi! Now I have access to the backbuffer, I want to draw text directly to the surface. How can I read Windows font information to write the pixels?

    That is the slowest way to wrote text to the screen. Take a look at D3DXFont if you want to use Windows fonts in your app.
