Hi Scott,
Have you checked the path to the font file, including letter case ? I had  
two or three occasions when this was my only mistake. Also you should set  
your offset to positive values - right now you have 0,-5 because there is  
no element with the index 4. Why do you use the field  property ? Since  
it's a menu it gets it's values automatically, doesn't it ? And with the  
title field it should fetch the title of the current page - I gues that's  
not what you want.
By the way, you should be aware that gif does not support alpha  
transparency - that is no anti aliasing in the transparency. Therefore you  
should also switch format to png, if your version of Typo3 supports PNG -  
I think it was introduced in a 4.0 beta.

You're welcome,
Christian
