Problem description:
I'm trying to sort out the best method for outlining text onscreen, I basically want to give all text a white or black outline around the letters so that it is more easily viewable.
Any ideas how I might go about this? I'm using objects, which are written onto an overlay- then displayed on top of a screen object.
Ideally, I'd rather just take the font i'm using and apply the outline to produce a new file,but I'd also like to know how to do this on the fly as well.

You would obviously want the standard font/text to have a higher layer than the background/outline for the text. The offset of the background text will create the "outline" effect.
I use a similar method in some projects I work on.
