Convert this code to .NET (Text to Image)

[codecref]

Hi guys
I was converting my project into .net but about this part of code is like that VS 2003 and VS2005 are both unable to convert it.

Public CurrentSub As Integer
Public SelStream As Integer
Public myFont As New StdFont

End Function

can you give me hand on this? and is there a chance to have antialiasing support and make the BMP file only 4 bit per pixel or 8 bit or even have option to select and at the same time have Auto sizing and Constant size... if you could put some comment in your code then I would learn it and can modify it myself.


and will it automatically support unicode or have to be adjusted?

thanks in advance
