Painted text on a screen... intercepting

Hi,
  I am trying to grab all the text that is being written on the canvas of an
external application for which I don't have code. The only way I could think
of, in order to do that, is to hook into some system DLLs and inject some
code of mine before letting the original API finish. (<-- I am talking DLL
hooks). The APIs I am after are TextOut and a couple of others I don't
remember now. Anyhow, the question for you guys is if there are any samples
of code around for this or if anybody has a simpler/better idea on how to
accomplish this. Additionally, if anybody knows precisely which functions I
should hook to (name, DLL name), that would be great.

Thanks!
