Is there an API way of 'drawing' text onto a PictureBox so that it is anti-aliased (smooth-edged)?

Not through the basic GDI libraries, but through GDI+ it is possible.

Well, in theory. I'm having problems getting it to work without crashing the IDE ...
 
Ok, well, it's working - but it doesn't give visibly better results than Cleartype in combination with VB's own output routines
 
Interesting, but thanks for trying!
