Re: [GD-DEVEL] Rendering Transparent Text?

Hi Pierre,
  Unfortunately I wasn't trying to render text with a a transparent
background but rather render text transparent. Take a black canvas, then
render text on it, which would 'cut out' of the black canvas and thus be
transparent. The end result being something that looked like a stencil.

Thanks!
