Hi Tyann,

Of course, TEXTOUT_P accepts both formats. The {color,alpha} format is an alternative to RGB(R,G,B,A), and it works in all drawing instructions, because color can always be provided as a hexadecimal integer value (e.g., #RRGGBB or #AARRGGBBh, which is what the RGB function returns). Why do you think the fact that TEXTOUT_P accepts this helps in any way? Are you looking to utilize it for syntax checking using IFERR instruction?

EDIT:
It's a pity that TEXTOUT_P ignores the alpha coefficient included in the color. In all other graphic instructions, it is properly handled, and semi-transparent objects are drawn. For me, this is a bug in TEXTOUT_P.
