Hello,<br><br>Is it possible to draw truely transparent texts with cairo? I looked up cairo_antialias_t, but couldn't find the option I want. When the antialias option is turned on, cairo blends the background and foreground pixels at the edge of a letter. Even when the background color is fully transparent, say rgba (0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0), cairo still thinks it is black and draw the edge in gray for antialiasing. What I want is to draw a text with a single color while its edge has alpha for antialiasing.<br>
<br> The following blog article explains the same requirement and the way he implemented it in PIL.Do I need to use the same technique in cairo too? Or is there a simple way to do it?<br><br><a href="http://nedbatchelder.com/blog/200801/truly_transparent_text_with_pil.html">http://nedbatchelder.com/blog/200801/truly_transparent_text_with_pil.html</a><br>
