Re: [GD-DEVEL] Rendering Transparent Text?

hi,

I have something that could be seen as a fix. The idea is the following:

if alpha blending is disabled and the foreground color has an alpha
value of 127 (transparent) then the text is rendered using only the
alpha value (a kind of erasing mode). An example result is attached.

Comments/other ideas welcome,
