Not sure if I have understood your problem. Have a look at the attached vi, which shows how to use a picture control to play with string attributes.
Hope this helps.

Thanks, that works quite nicely. It looks like it will also allow me to overlay graphs on the text, which was a proposed extension once the basic menu system is working. It isn't quite as realistic as the displays of the first suggestion, but it should suffice for what we need.

Actually, the display will initially be a 240 x 64 pixel graphics + text monochrome LCD. I searched around and have found some free dot matrix type fonts with square pixels, but I won't evaluate them until I have the rest of the system working. I will also try out some different display sizes (quarter VGA, for example) once we are happy with how the user interface simulation is working.
