Hi Roman,
I tried many fonts, truefonts behave the same way.
Check the screenshot:
uglyfontwithalpha.png
I tried all the font sizes from 5 to 100 (20 is default) and play with the Z axe to make it smaller, the final effect is the same every time.

Does anyone have a best practice with the fonts on alpha on any background than black?

Best,
Popesz

I can't reproduce with the help of [text3d].

Have you tried using  a TrueType font?
