--- Comment #2 from Eyal Rozenberg <eyalr...@gmx.com> --- (In reply to V Stuart Foote from comment #1) > IIUC the VCL routines for font effects "Outline" as here, and "Shadow", draw > effect layout from the font metrics. I'm not sure I understand what you mean exactly. Of course the path of the outline and shadow uses the information embedded in the font; but the path width/thickness, and the shadow distance and angle, aren't described by the "font metrics". > Guess it is possible, but suspect attempting to generate heavier outline > stroke weights would just end up smearing the strokes. I'm not sure what you mean. How is this different from any vector shape for which you make the lines thicker? > And wouldn't this be more a graphics attribute needed in 'Font work' rather > than simple shapetext or in text boxes? Once "outline" is recognized as important enough to be supported for non-font-work text, its width should be supported as well.
