Sounds interesting, but I've never seen it.  Actually I'm more 
interested in what the text contained than in the animation effects.

Wow!  You'll be wasting not only your time but especially, the user's 
memory.  The font can be easily made transparent using the TBrush::Style 
property.  There's no need for bitmap letters or anything:

   Canvas->Brush->Style = bsClear;
   Canvas->TextOut(10, 10, "Completely Transparent");

Good luck!
