alpha blending for text??

dear gurus,
It is possible to have alpha blending with bitmaps using AlphaBlend and BLENDFUNCTION . Can the same alpha blending effect be given to a text/string??means can a string be made something like opaque so that the background be visible in an opaque manner??

Regards.
