Text rendering within pop-ups

Correct, there is a problem with sub-pixel text on transparent surfaces.  This will be fixed for hardware pipeline by 2.2.

The outstanding fix will make use of what color we have in background.  Note if background is fully transparent then sub-pixel antialiasing will be lost, resulting in aa grayscale text.
