That's a good workaround. I'm about to do it. However, I think the text outlining thing should do the same thing. I think the outline is being applied on the inside of the character outline, instead of the outside. It seems to me that I once used a program that allowed setting the outline on the inside or outside. InDesign? CorelDRAW? Illustrator? I wonder if I just have to set something somewhere to make Scribus apply the outline to the outside. If the outline feature is fixed to apply it only to the inside, then perhaps I need to make a feature request. I can see needing it on the outside quite often; I can't think of any situation where I'd want the outline on the inside. First, I need to determine if this is a PEBKAC* problem or not. *PEBKAC: Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair.
