transparent background for text image

[Bonzo]

This works for me:

Code: Select all

convert -background transparent -fill #b02b2c -font Arial -pointsize 80 label:"Sample Text Image" normal_lbl.png

If you are using IE 6 transparency is not fully supported.

If you are using IE 6 transparency is not fully supported.

At least not for PNG, and not without some JAVA handling PNG format images.

the new IE 7 is suposed to completely suport PNG transparency in all conditions.

Yes I should have myself clearer, IE 6 and below have problems with png transparency. As well as a java script way around the problem that never worked properly for me there is a mircorsft method but I can not remember the details now.
png transparency seems OK in IE 7.
