Convert textbox's text (containing different characters of different font & color ) into image or picturebox - vb.net

I am doing project in vb.net
I am using a Rich text box on which i can set different font (name,size,bold,italic,underline),color to different selected text.
I am able to do this in Rich textbox but i want to create bitmap (or assign to picturebox) of this of different text with different font style & color but i am getting not much font as like textbox in image..
Is there any method to convert Rich textbox text directly to image which contain different font style & color for different text.
output should like following image....

Kindly take a look at this article.

How can I insert circled numbers with text in button label/text, vb.net

I am trying to insert circled numbers with (a-z) text on button labels/text in a desktop vb.net application. Wingdings 2 font has what I need for the circled numbers but has no regular (a-z) text and the button font property does not allow two different fonts in the same button label/text.
In scouring the internet, I can find nothing, but I am sure I am not the first to need this feature.
The goal is to have a circled number at the beginning of each button label/text, so that the user can click the buttons in the right sequence.
You should be be to paste them in as Unicode in most fonts. Here are some Sans Serif ones, just try to copy and paste them with the rest of your button text:
🄋 ➀ ➁ ➂ ➃ ➄ ➅ ➆ ➇ ➈ ➉
If this does not work for you, You may want to try a button image instead. Maybe use something like Paint.Net to make the text you want into an image, and then set that as the button image. I'm not sure if you can do that in a sizable way with SVG or PNG or if you would have to make several images for different sizes and use code to switch them.
FYI, I got these characters from this site, if you want more options: http://xahlee.info/comp/unicode_circled_numbers.html

PDFBox retrieve text from overlapping boxes

I've had some success using the PDFTextStripperByArea class to retrieve text contained within a specified rectangle. However, some of the PDFs I an scraping have text that is in slightly different places from page to page. I'm looking for help in how to deal with this.
In the example below, I can open the PDF in Acrobat Edit mode and see multiple text boxes (outlines with thin grey lines). I have indicated two regions (purple and red) that I would like to extract text from. However, instead of just getting the text physically inside the rectangle, I'd like all the text from the overlapping text boxes.
Is there a way to do this?

Programmatically determine text visibility in PDF document

Using iTextSharp or some other library, is it possible to determine if a given part of the text is visible?
Using other word, is it possible to extract (to simple text) only the visible parts?
For example, if a given text segment has its font color white, then that text segment would be invisible when printing or displaying on screen.
My goal is to find a way to extract only the text that would be visible when printing that document!

QML formatting text in TextEdit

I'm new to QML, I'm trying to create text editor where you can format text to make it bold, italic, underlined, justification etc. basically I want this to act as general text editor ( LibreOffice Writer or other )
Next step is to convert formatted text in TextEdit field to HTML code, so if text in field is bold then <B>...</B> is added to text, etc.
I managed to create this kind of editor in GDK using text buffer and tags but I don't know where to start with QML.
You can still use tags for formatting text inside a TextEdit Element, as shown in the documentation.

vb.net, label or textbox right-aligned

OK, here's a problem i have. Searching the net did not help much.
In VB.net, you can right-align the text on a label. The label however has automatic word-wrap capabilities so it seems impossible to display a text in the label (of constant size) and always view the last part of the text.
I'm placing a folder name in the label and i'm always interested in seeing the last part of the text. As is now, if the path name is too large, i keep seeing the i.e. "C:\Documents and Settings" part, which i don't care to see. In VB6 when you right-align the text in a label, it displays the last part and if the text doesn't fit, it just cuts the text at the beginning. In VB.NET if the text is too large to fit in the label, word-wrap kicks in so you end up seeing the first part of the text only.
When using a textbox, even if it's right-aligned, if the text doesn't fit it just shows as much as possible from the START of the text (instead of from the END since it's right-aligned.)
Is there a way to achieve a similar behavior in VB.NET as in VB6's label?
