Yes, the problem is that the original background for the image was white.
Its better of your starting with a transparant background and you stay with
that.

 Since you are using aliasing to smooth the edges, it blends the white in
where the letters transition to the background.  Use a transparant
background or a dark background and your problem will dissapear.
