Text Mesh and ZTest not compatible?

Any time I have a ZTest LEqual with any Text Mesh, the mesh won't render. It is as if anything with a Text Mesh attached always has a z depth fixed to infinitely distant.

The end goal here is to have text meshes properly hidden behind other objects. Looking around the forum and the wiki, it seems like a proper ZTest LEqual used to work, but perhaps something changed? Is there something I need to do to the Text Mesh to make it recognize its correct depth?

 

Here it is...

Code (csharp):

1. Shader "GUI/Colored Text Shader"
2.  {
3.     Properties {
4.         _MainTex ("Font Texture", 2D) = "white" {}
5.         _Color ("Color", Color) = (1, 1, 1, 1)
6.     }
7.    
8.     SubShader {
9.  
10.         lighting Off
11.         cull off
12.         zwrite on
13.         ztest lequal // shouldn't this work?
14.         Fog { Mode Off }
15.         Tags {"Queue" = "Transparent" }
16.  
17.         Pass {
18.             Blend SrcAlpha OneMinusSrcAlpha
19.             SetTexture [_MainTex] {
20.                 ConstantColor[_Color]
21.                 Combine constant, texture
22.             }
23.         }
24.     }
25.  }
26.  

 

Quick note about the ZWrite -- I have tried on and off, but will turn it off once the text is rendering correctly.

 

Aras - thanks for taking a look at it. I just tried it on a newer iMac and it works, but it wasn't working on one of the original Intel iMacs. I will put together a test project on the older iMac; if it still doesn't work there, then I will file a bug report.

 

I built a simple project on the older iMac and now it's working. User error strike again. :?
