Ah, would that be the same "DrawThemeTextBox" that the doc on

we've enough trouble with things that are supposed to work not working
without also trying things that are not supposed to work to see if in
fact they do ;-)

I apologize on behalf of the doc team for the docs. All of those "under evaluation" comments are supposed to be removed real soon now.

Just FYI: if it's the headers, you can use it. Anything that shipped in the headers with CarbonLib or 10.0 is not going away.

And this function might do in a pinch, it'd be much better to be able
to use other fonts/sizes/styles so that we don't have to special case
this.

You can use custom font/size/style with DrawThemeTextBox by specifying kThemeCurrentPortFont.

I don't suppose there's any way to use the Quartz drawing calls
directly from Carbon?

You can call CoreGraphics directly from any application if you want. It's just more work than using DrawThemeTextBox.
