You are correct. It appears that when I draw the text with foreground alpha it is honored so only the background alpha is ignored. Strange... would anyone else consider this to be either a documentation or an API bug? Maybe I'm missing something, but it seems like the behavior should be consistent.

Thanks,
Phil

On a related note, am I correct in assuming that to get semitransparent text I'd need to render it to an image and have Quartz handle the compositing?

No, you should be able to make the text itself transparent just by specifying a transparent foreground color. If that doesn't work, something else is screwy.
