Description

Steps to reproduce:
1. Embed font
2. Create an instance of TextArea and provide htmlText, the htmlText should be using embeded font
3. Change alpha property of textArea
4. Change rotate property of textArea
[ a sample project is attached to test - alphaExperiment.zip]

Actual Results:
1. On changing alpha, whole component but without forground / text characters will become opaque
2. On changing rotation value, text will disappear

Expected Results:
1. alpha should be applied to text / characters
2. Since embeded font(s) is/are used, textArea should be rotated without text disappearing.

Workaround (if any):
1. Use text property instead htmlText, set styles
2. None
