</div>Hello,<br>
<br>
Do not ask me how since I don't speak LaTeX, but I bet that you can<br>
get transparent fonts with some macro package. This tiny ConTeXt<br>
example uses xdvipdfmx and generates transparent text without any<br>
problem. I'm sure that there's an equivalent way to do the same in<br>
XeLaTeX.<br>
<br>
\setupcolors[state=start]<br>
\definecolor[c1][r=1,t=.5,a=1]<br>
\definecolor[c2][g=1,t=.5,a=1]<br>
\definecolor[c3][b=1,t=.5,a=1]<br>
<br>
\def\test#1#2{\hbox to 1ex{\color[#1]{#2}\hss}}<br>
\starttext<br>
\hbox{\test{c1}{this}\test{c2}{is}\test{c3}{transparent}}<br>
\stoptext<br>
