I battled this for days a while back. I don't think it can be done, regardless of what other people say. Now, I was trying to make a Dwarf Fortress style game. If you are doing the same, do what he did. Use images.

• Faster, because it can make use of graphic acceleration.
• Easier, because they are tiles and there are LOTS of tutorials on doing that.
• Well Supported, with things like XNA for the very framework you are already using.
• Extensible, so you can swap in other images at a later date, for new images like the bearded smiles in DF.
