Render the background image _and_ the text combined in one picture and use
this as a background for the text.
Use plain text for the text instead of an image and place it inside a <span>
or <div> to assign the background to it.
Then you can "remove" the original text with CSS.

This way you don't have any transparency related problems and there are lots
of them ;-)
