Easy way is just rendering a TextBlock with the text on a WriteableBitmap

private void RenderString(WriteableBitmap bitmap, string stringToRender)
{
    TextBlock textBlock = new TextBlock();
    textBlock.Text = stringToRender;

    // set font, size, etc. on textBlock

    bitmap.Render(textBlock, null);
    bitmap.Invalidate();
}

Yes, just set the `Margin` property of the TextBox before rendering it! – Pedro Lamas Dec 21 '12 at 19:09
