How to print text in RGB colour?
Quite a regular

See User information
Is there any way, anywhere, on AmigaOS 4 to draw plain text in an RGB value without resorting to 35 year old technology (planar palette)??

Something as simple as
graphics.library->SetAPenRGB(red,green,blue); //NO stupid palette number involved
graphics.library->Text(rp, "Hello world!", 12);

Or do I just have old SDK documentation?

Just use RPTAG_APenColor tag with IGraphics->SetRPAttrs(). Format is 0xAARRGGBB.

Nice! Thank you
I wonder how I've managed to miss this one. It is in my SDK docs and seems old but I've been looking for this kind of functionality for years!

There is also another way, use CompositeTags vertex mode, palette comes from the source bitmap and font shape from alpha bitmap. This allows rotating the letters and colour gradients.

Cool. But I don't do DTP or word processing. Just text :)
