Hi,

I would like to get red text with black outlines.

The magic in ConTeXt that does the outline is
    \starteffect[outer] Something \stopeffect
but I would like to combine normal filled glyphs with an outline.

While I'm able to come up with some magic to do this for single lines
(creating zero width hboxes etc.), I would really like to typeset a
complete paragraph on a poster.

Is there any magic that would allow me to do that?

Thank you,
    Mojca

\starttext

\startbuffer[test]
     \input tufte
\stopbuffer

\startoverlay
 
{\framed[align=normal,foregroundstyle=\bfd,foregroundcolor=blue]{\starteffect[inner]\getbuffer[test]\stopeffect}}
     {\framed[align=normal,foregroundstyle=\bfd,foregroundcolor=red] 
{\starteffect[outer]\getbuffer[test]\stopeffect}}
\stopoverlay
