Let me refine my question some more. What I really need is to be
able to draw "transparent text". That is, text that only draws the
characters, but does not fill in the background. There are other
Components under the text component, and I don't want to do anything but
put text on top of them.
I am drawing my text using a subclass of Canvas. I am making
direct calls to the Graphics drawing routines. However, it seems that
my canvas is being painted with a background color first, even
though I override update(). Is there any way to prevent this?
I am using the Beta APIs on WindowsNT.
