The freetype2 library can't render anything else than a greyscale bitmap, so 
it is the applications responsibility to color this image. So either make a 
new coloring function, that paints into a temp surface, and use blendregion, 
as you suggest above. Or just look at fixing the blendcolor function, so that 
it's capable of blending and coloring the greyscale surface into the osd 
surface in one go, hmm?

I plan on merging the existing CC and my teletext stuff, as it's very similar 
in nature. Offcourse theming it would be fun, and should be very easy 
actually. For now, you can specify the 'theme data' in osd.cpp's 
OSD::SetDefaults.

Would it be possible for you to make a sample of nuppelvideo with CC data in 
it, so I have something to test the merge with?
