I received a couple of answers to my question in different
news groups, and I was told that painting to the window should
be done directly instead of copying the contents from a bitmap.
But I used to do that when I first had this problem, and the
result was even worse. The text might be drawn fast enough when
I don't use different colors, but I _need_ colored text.

Tschuess,
