try this

local params = {}
params[ "$basetexture" ] = "sprites/lgtning"
params[ "$translucent" ] = 1
local mat = CreateMaterial("MyNewMaterial","UnlitGeneric",params)

Add params[ "$additive" ] = 1 as well.
You need to restart the map before materials update.

Restarting didn't help me, but changing font name in CreateMaterial did.
