First of all, .NET doesn't contain such low-level hooks. All you could do is draw the fonts yourself. I'm not even aware of any way to control fonts to such a degree exposed in the Win32 APIs and I've spent over a decade getting headaches from them (though such headaches might have lead to temporary blindness, causing me to miss such functionality Poke tongue | ;-P )! This would be a function of GDI so you could look into the documentation.

Besides, true type fonts don't really contain any data that would allow you to show how each character is drawn. They contain points that help with resizing but those aren't in any order that is representational to how a human would draw them.

Your best bet will be to - as you didn't want to do - use lines, beziers, etc., to draw the characters.

Might I recommend Macromedia Flash, though? I've seen a lot of examples of similar presentations that actually draw things in steps. You would also be able to easily host this in a web page (you can with .NET controls, but it requires the ~20 MB framework and a pre-installed security policy to allow your code form a specific site to run), any COM client, or even a .NET application (which can be a COM client).

If you wanted to use GDI+ in a .NET application, you would have to worry about all the animation. For example, if you use Graphics.DrawLine to draw a line, the line is just there. It won't be animated. You'd instead have to call Graphics.DrawLine repeatedly to draw longer and longer lines until you reached the desired length! Dead | X| That's easy, though, compared to curves - you would have to calculate each point in the spline or the start and sweep angles for arcs with each iteration of the animation! Dead | X| Dead | X|

You could use Managed DirectX - which will help you with graphics a little - but you'd still need to worry about creating a package to handle the character animation. Things like Flash and even DHTML with vector graphics already have this support - you just have to tell it how to animate what you want.
