Cant for the life of me figure out to have white text with say, a blue stroke/outline.

I can set font display method to ‘outline’ then change the Color to blue but that leaves transparent middles.

I lie, One way is to composite two text TOPs together. One outline, one polygon.

Is there a way to adjust the thickness of the outline?

I usually use other tools for text but i’d like some text to read from files, and still look good, and big.

Anti-Aliased smoothes a bit but not so much. A blur TOP helps some.

Any type gurus have any tricks?

thanks,

Hey Quine,

For a outline you could use a Edge TOP with the option comp over background set to on. Maybe that will return satisfactory results.

cheers
