Hi komame
I took another look and found your 9 line code. I've implemented it with local variables below.
I also added a FREEZE command after the TEXTOUT_P.
I'm not sure I followed the whole thread on the use of your code.
It works except the font is not italics. Did I miss something?
Also the text color is black on white regardless of the color argument in BLIT_P. Did I miss something on that as well?
Thank you for your help.

RECT_P("buffer");
TEXTOUT_P(text,"buffer",1,1,7); FREEZE;
BLIT_P(x,y,"buffer",1,1,size[1],size[2],#FFFFFF,alpha);
