Transparency with ImageTTFText

[djbryson]

Is there a way to make the text transparent with ImageTTFText
Here's my code:

$image = imagecreatefromjpeg("pics/$dir/$filename"); 
$color = ImageColorAllocate($image, 30, 10, 195);
//imagecolortransparent($image, $color);
ImageTTFText ($image, 20, 0, 20, 27, $color, "font.ttf", "DJBryson.com"); 
imagejpeg($image);  

imagedestroy($image);

I don't think jpeg supports transparency very well.
Try png or gif.

(This is a guess)

It's not the jpeg i want to make transparent... it's the font
