Oh, ok, How's this? (I'm using cc3+ by the way with the Mike Schley overland style. )

I think the problem is something CC3 might be doing.
It looks like there is a 1-2 pixel area between the letters and the outline that is transparent, which is not good.
I think that was causing the issue before with the yellow.
Have you thought about doing the labeling in another program? GIMP is free, as is Krita and others.
There's an article I did a while back with free and low price apps and we can point you to font sites like dafont.com.
It just seems like CC3's options are somewhat limited where text is concerned.
Edit - here's the article I was talking about.

Oh, I see. Your saying it would be better if the lettering fit inside of a gray box that would block out the mountain in the background and only let the letters of the word show. I'm sure I could figure out how to do that.
Yep, I've thought about doing the lettering and editing of my maps in both photoshop and Gimp. I've got both programs so I suppose I could give it a go.

Hmm, that really is nice. Believe it or not though, I haven't really messed with the lettering except to get a different font and add a glow to it, and of course change the color. There is a ton more I can do but haven't tried for labels and cc3 yet. I think what I will do first is mess around with the text effects in cc3 first to see if I can get that to go away, and if that doesn't work, then I will try photoshop.
LOL, I was hoping you would see the Southvale Cheese Monastery. It sits on the mountain in a small mountain valley and is hard to get to, but it is where they make all of the cheese in my country.

I am going to have to do a pilgrimage to this vale of the south and pay homage at the monastery of fromagio

Oh, and if you look real close, you will see that there is a yellow monument made of sandstone that commemorates the signing of the treaty of our peoples with the "peace of cheese"
EDIT: Sorry about that Waldronate. I didn't see your post till after I posted mine.
So with that information it sounds like I will have to wait until the map is done because once I export it to photoshop I am not sure I can get it to go back into cc3+ again. Either that or I could move the text someplace else.

Ah, hobbits and their rope trees. Under the light of the full moon, young women climb the trees to cut only the choicest buds using a specially-blessed sickle and the men catch it with their equally-blessed silver bowls before it hits the ground... Nothing like it!
