I was actually searching for a text with paint program, because i didn't want to pay 39 dollars for one...lol
Found this gem, but i do not think you can paint with text like pingotec (the not free software).
Here are the infos.

Textaizer Pro 4 has been released!
Textaizer Pro 4 is the newest version of the popular text art software from APP Helmond. We have fully redesigned the software: more stable, simpler interface and an exciting new feature: Crazy Characters.
What is Textaizer Pro?
Textaizer Pro is a text mosaic creator with extensive possibilities to also create genuine ASCII art.
What can you do with Textaizer Pro?
You can turn any picture into little pieces of art by re-painting its bitmap from a text. Simply choose a text file and the target picture and press the button. Hide your text in a picture and send it to your loved one as a 'secret'
Just in case you're short of the right words.. message. Or simply create and print balloons from 'happy birthday' words.
Is Textaizer Pro a unique program?
Yes. Many ASCII art applications can be found on the internet and also some text mosiac creators. Textaizer Pro is however one of the few programs that combines these two possibilities and above all it's freeware. And that makes Textaizer Pro unique.
The key features of Textaizer Pro
A text mosaic is a picture which is built from hundreds or thousands of characters. Each character takes the color of the area that is replaced by this character, and when looking from a distance the original source picture is recognised. If looking close-up, the individual characters can be seen.
When sentences are taken a source text, this story is then printed as a picture ('every picture tells a story'). With Textaizer Pro you can make such text mosaic pictures.
But Textaizer Pro can do much more that just that. The key features are:
* create text mosaics (limits: perhaps, we have built a 4000x5000 pixels poster of 59 Mb)
* extensive pre- and post-processing with color correction filters, size, font and background
* create bitmaps from text (aka ASCII art)
* IntelliDraw: create ASCII art directly from drawn lines
* free drawing ASCII art, with eraser functionality
* create video with ASCII art from video clips
* large viewing window with seamless zoom
* a wide variety of output: text, html, bitmap, avi
* HTML file generation in two modes: color or black & white
