Very rough off the top of my head but ...

Using oImage As New (open the bitmap or whatever here)

         Dim g As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(oImage)

         g.TextRenderingHint = System.Drawing.Text.TextRenderingHint.AntiAlias
         g.SmoothingMode = SmoothingMode.AntiAlias

    g.DrawString(<font details and text etc>)
    oImage.Save(<filename>, ImageFormat.??????????)

End Using
