I've had the same issue. I use ImageFlare...The solution I've been using is a TOTAL HACK, but it works.
Create a blank transparent PNG file in Photoshop, then use that as the basis for your new image. <cfx_imageflare source="\ b = Bitmap( '#expandpath('Trans.png')#' ) f = Font( 'Coliseum Normal', 24 ) b.text( 'Some Text', 0, b.height, f, Color('red') ) b.save( '#expandpath('Trans2.png')#' ) "> You can make the transparent image any size as you'll be able to dynamically size it to fit as you need it.
