Drop shadow text; transparency issue

[Grand0]

Hello, everyone

I'm currently using Photoshop to make some thumbnails, both for myself and for other clients. Everything is going quite well, except for one small thing.

The font that I'm using for my thumbnails has a "white" layer and a black drop shadow as well. That would be fine, except for the fact that whenever I put text into the image, the white layer is transparent, and the color only changes for the drop shadow.

I'm wondering if there is a way to work around this and get the white layer only.

I do not understand what you wrote the font your using has a white layer.  If your text layer is transparent all I can think of is somehow the layers fill has been set to 0. Like you added a layer style that added a drop shadow and set the layer fill to 0.  Check the text layer fill setting. or the pasted image layer containing the text fill setting. The text pixels should have a color and opacity and the layer has  opacity and fill settings.

However in this case

The font has no color it is transoarent and no drop shadow has been added that is the font as you can see in its png download I opened on Photoshop. the is no white the white you see is the document background or the web page background not the font the font looks like a drop shadow

Alright, sorry about the misunderstanding. Thank you!

One more question; if there is any way, how can I turn the said transparent part into white?

The only generated filled pixels for that font are what looks like a  characters drop shadow.  There are no actual Characters. No pixels exist that can be colored other that what looks like a characters drop shadow. Change the text tool color from back will change the black pixels you see color.  The transparency is the absence of Pixels.  The layer shape is the same as the the black pixels.  In fact you can convert the text layer to a shape layer you will then be able to edit the Shape layer's Path but not change  the text  like you could when it was a text layer.
