text outline

[Wish List System]

Summary: Text style that has an outline so it will stand out when placing text on an aerial photograph.

Description: Add a text style that has an outline so it will stand out when placing text on an aerial photograph. Often when we work with an aerial photograph in the background none of the existing text styles are readable. They get "lost" in the photograph. I have seen maps created in othe programs that have a "cloud" or outlined type of text that is very readable when it is overlain on a busy aerial.
Thank you

This is not exactly what you're after, but will provide you the same visual effect: Txt2Geom

Dear Diane,
waiting for such a text style, you could simply use a Truetype outline font, e.g. Swis721...
