Edit: I'm not using tt font's because in my case (low-/mediumres game) it just works better this way and I'm quite sure you can't get the same effect/accuracy/whatever with truetype fonts. (like the one in the screenshot I posted some pages before)
I am sure you can get that effect in a much better quality with true type fonts, BUT you need a font specifically designed for your needs, so either you find one online or build it yourself, however that is done.
Well I haven't seen a truetype font that used transparency so I don't think they support it.
Also I am very happy with the way my font looks like so ttf isn't going to make it look 'better' But thanks anyway
