Creating a Transparent Image with GD

[anthq 0]

OK.  I have a bunch of tabs on my site, but would like to use a TTF font for the text.  I know how to create an image with this font with GD, but it has to have an annoying background on it, which does not look nice on the tabs... So, is tehre a way that I can have GD take the tab (its a PNG, I could make it to jpg) and put text on it and make a new image, or just create the text on a transparent background?

Thanks.
