Re: QuickDraw II programming problem

The pen mask doesn't affect font drawing.  I think what you're supposed to
do (I think this is what the tools do, you can verify it by stepping
through a call that handles drawing a dimmed item) is draw the text
normally, then use a rectangle call on top of the text to make it dimmed
(can't remember the specific call though).
