One Windows the best solution is to use the trick explained here:

http://stackoverflow.com/a/30631309

Another possibility is to use PIL. creating an image with the text and a specific font.

I provide 2 classes: CustomFont_Label and CustomFont_Message.

CustomFont_Message displays multilines but requires the width parameter.
