How do I remove white box surrounding text when using Emboss effect?

Hi all,

I'm having trouble getting emboss to work on text, it keeps coming up with this white box background, adding other fx seems to get rid of it but messes with the colour/emboss of text, also tried changing opacity. Any ideas?

Thanks

Alex

I would suggest using spritefont, you can even embed this effect into the image itself in Photoshop or similar software.

Thanks dop2000 yeah that was plan b, was hoping to avoid more work, oh well :o(

I'm using this tool to make spritefonts, super easy and quick:
