32-bit texture problem?

I've been trying to debug my font class for the last 3 hours but I cannot figure out what's wrong. I create a font using a 32-bit texture and then store it in a display list. Everything seems to be working fine until I try to print some text. Instead of showing text, it shows white boxes where it should be characters. Really weird. glGetError() shows no errors! I generate the texture with glTexImage2D() and since it's a 32-bit texture I use GL_RGBA. The width and height of the TGA file I'm loading is a power of 2. (256x256) But here's the weirdest thing, if I replace glTexImage2D() with gluBuild2DMipmaps() it suddenly works but with mipmapped textures(which look awful). But if I draw just the loaded TGA to the screen using glDrawPixels() it displays the TGA file perfectly. There's something fishy about glTexImage2D(), that's for sure. What do you think?
