well, your patch shouldn't do anything when setting the alpha-value on
any machine, since alpha-blending is turned off by default.
apart from that:

gem-0.90.1 for w32 is build with FTGL support; the changelog of FTGL
says (FTGL-1.0b3; August 8 2001)
<snip>
Pixmap fonts can now be in colour. It uses the current colour when the
font is CREATED. This isn't ideal but is better than the alternatives.
</snip>
it furthermore says (FTGL-2.1.2; 11 December 2004)
<snip>
hanged the way the colour is specified for Pixmap fonts. It can now be
done per string rather than at start up as previous.
</snip>
probably this is related to your problem (i don't remember which
FTGL-version is used to link against gem-0.90.1; but according to the
date it might well be that i used an earlier version)
