Re: [GD-DEVEL] Rendering Transparent Text?

I need the anti-aliasing and as Colen pointed out you'll lose that unless
you write a drawing primitive. I ended up just using GD to make a black
image with white text and then having ImageMagick translate the white to
100% transparent.

Thanks to all for the responses,
