> putting a grey background behind it

Should be fairly easy.  Don't use a on-off-on-off type grey, though,
as this will print badly on various printers.  Instead choose a screen
of say 80 dots per inch and an angle of 45 degrees.  At that resolution
(300 dpi) the grey can actually impair the legibility of the fonts
quite dramatically, so be careful and experiment!
