Java2D drawing colored bitmap fonts

I couldn't come up with a more elegant way of drawing any color font from a single bitmap (png) font loaded in memory.

The only way I could get it to work was to render everything into a buffered image, which is then modified at pixel level by the font drawing.

The only other way I can think of how to do this would be to create the buffered image, then steal its array, and have to do my own pixel copying / color operations from there on instead of using drawImage calls... But I'd really like to avoid going that far if I could!
