Create a bitmap of formatted text

hi,
I have a proprietary display, which I draw on by manipulating GPIOs.
The display is monochrome.
I need to create monochrome images of formatted text (multi-language, TTF fonts, etc.)
How can that be done?
I'm thinking of QImage and QPainter - am I in the right direction?

Yes, either with a grayscale image format or, if it only can do two colors, with a QBitmap.

Cheers,

QBitmap worked - thanks.
