draws the string in the correct text color and font, with a black rectangular background. I want the background image to show through the "holes" in the string I'm drawing. I tried adding

[[NSColor clearColor] set];
NSRectFill(textBounds);

before the -drawInRect: call, to no avail. What am I missing?


If you don't set the background at all the text should draw with no background.

NSDictionary   *attrs = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
         font, NSFontAttributeName,
         textColor, NSForegroundColorAttributeName,
         nil];
[text drawInRect:textBounds withAttributes:attrs];
