The task is indeed a bit weird, but it could be done in Masm32 at 1024 or 2048 bytes, using WinExec. But even in FreeBasic it will probably be less than 50k.

Choosing the font Allowing bold or italic Allowing selection of colour of print Changing size of type This is really a case for a RichEdit control. Anything else is utterly complicated.

Re: Intel Free compilers
Intel's compiler is the one that produces the fastest executables, see e.g. Willus.com's 2011 Win32/64 C Compiler Benchmarks or A Performance-Based Comparison of C/C++ Compilers. But build times are rather slow, and it's a huge download.
Re: FPU grief
You are welcome. I like the FPU, it's more precise than the SSE2 instructions and equally fast.
Re: FPU grief
Looks ok. Btw your main problem was the fstp dword Ptr [Function], which produced a single instead of a double.

Very useful indeed. Is the structure officially documented and guaranteed not to change?I wrote a topic around that:
How accessing to the array's descriptor structure?
