To do that you would need to use several different FillPath and DrawPath command combinations, each with a different brush set. That's going to be very messy and quite difficult to implement as you will need to separate out each block of contiguous words that needs to be in a colour set, draw it, then use Graphics.MeasureString or GraphicsPath.GetBounds (probably the later) to find out how much space it took up, so you can use that as part of the offset to the next text block.

There will probably be a fair amount of iteration going on during this development; I wouldn't expect it to look perfect the first time I tried it, so I doubt you should either! :laugh:
