If you don't want to have the effort of creating fonts etc, you may use one 
of the intelligent iLCD panels from www.ilcd.info

You can load any Windows font into the flash memory of the board and have 
high level rendering routines (with alignment and word wrap). Besides that 
you can use any graphics (inluding animated GIFs) created on the PC without 
having to write some code. The only thing you have to do is to communicate 
with the panel via a serial port.
