Text Outlines

[HaroldB]

Igor,

Can we have an option on text to set an outline around the text? Most graphics programs that handle text support this.

I'd want to specify a color and a thickness.

Question: Should the thickness change proportionately when the text is made bigger or smaller by pulling on it? I think yes.

Question: Should the thickness be allowed to change for different keypoints? I think yes (it seems required if the answer to the above question is yes).

I'll cancel this request, or at least make it a low priority. Lin figured out how to do this using drop shadows. See "Outline Text" in the main PTE sub-forum.

Based on further experimenting, I'll reinstate this request. Lin's technique produces variable results depending on the font in use.
