Outlined Text Effect

Chimoru

I'm trying to achieve a text effect so that the text appears to be outlined. My idea is to display two identical strings, with one font overlaying the other font. Does anyone know of any font pairs that can overlay on each other and create this effect (I've tried many font combinations, but haven't found a pair that works)?

Thanks!

Maybe use the same font but make the one in the back bigger and if needed change its position.

@Chimoru Are you using GS Display Text or are you using a graphics program to make the words or letters you want to use?

I did this text effect demo some time ago. Maybe it will help.

Now that you can add your own custom fonts in Gamesalad you could either find and purchase a font that meets your needs to create one yourself if you can't find one.
