Adding Transparency/alpha to Embedded Font

Question

Hi guys,

I have embedded a font type in my application. Its working fine inside a text area. Now i need to add 60% transparency to it. In fact I need multiple transparency levels. Like -

1. 60 % transparency for TextARea
2. 70% for WindowShade Header etc.

How do I add alpha values to it?

I recommend Adobe's own explanation of how to do this.
