Hi there,
If you use makempy and metapost then the
following may be of interest.
As a matter of fact it is pretty obvious but
it took me some time to realise that it can
be achieved easily.
If you wish to have additional outlines for
``makempy'' fonts, just draw the text several
times as in:
graphictext( "C" )
scaled 8.8
withdrawcolor black
withfillcolor red
withpen pencircle scaled 16pt
;
graphictext( "C" )
scaled 8.8
withdrawcolor white
withfillcolor red
withpen pencircle scaled 10pt
;
This will give you a cool red C with a white and
black outline.
It may not work as great for all characters but for
some it certainly does. See 16K attachment for an
example that I am still working on. The puzzle part
was nicked from Hans.
Regards,
Marc van Dongen
