On my window98 Mathematica version4.2
The following Text commands exhibit some peculiar behavior

Text["bla1bla",pt2,{1,-1},Background->Azure],
Text["bla2bla",pt2,{1,1},Background->Azure],

In both of these two cases the Background->Azure option
Overlaps/blanks the line below/above the text, respectively,
i.e., the text is not offset up/down enough to account for the Background->Azure box size

Text["bla3bla",Offset[{0,0},0.2slope],{0,0},slope,Background->Azure],

In this, 3rd, case the "bla3bla" string is displayed/sloped correctly,
But the Background->Azure box is not,
i.e., the big wide and tall box remains in a horizontal position,
while the properly sloped text appears along the Background->Azure box diagonal

any suggestions?
thanks

sincerely andy
