Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: AOL 4.0 for Windows 95 sub 214 Reply-To: djgpp AT delorie DOT com Hi! I use Allegro and I have a data file to load. I load the data file, put a picture onto the screen, then I print some text across the bitmap. The problem is, the text doesn't have a transparent background. It completely ruins the picture. How do I get the text to have a transparent background? I use the function textout() - Brett
