Scripting Request: Text Outlines

[Crow]

Here's a sample:


The first two ones use only four text controls. First one is adding shadows at top, left, bottom and right, second one is adding them at top left, bottom left, bottom right, top right. Third one has them all.

First one looks best

It really depends on what you want the outcome to look like. The first method will make angular fonts more round (using Arial in this example), which is an undesired effect sometimes. Second one doesn't look too bad, compared to the third one, and should work well on smaller sizes.

Even if Stefan only added something like outlinetext = true; where we couldn't specify thickness, it would be better than nothing.

Aye.
