I'm using ScriptTextOut function to do some styled international text
drawing char by char (glyph by glyph dare I say), along a curves or things
like that.

Anyway I just discovered ScriptTextOut only display black glyph, regardless
my current HPEN or HBRUSH.

(Note: I cannot use ExtTextOut as char by char drawing is losing glyph
replacement)

So I have 2 question:
-1. is there a way to select a color for the output of ScriptTextOut?

-2. I was thinking to draw to a gray scaled HBITMAP as a drawing mask, brush
it and then render the result.
Any advice on how to do that using plain GDI / win32 call?

Did you call SetTextColor()?

No, I haven't.
Seems like a good idea, hey!
Thanks mate!
