Good idea, should work. However I have not tested either because
somehow I could not get fontforge to generate new ttf-fonts (I get only
segfault when try to convert new manipulated font, my fontforge is
fontforge-20070511-2.fc8 by yum). I can also do something wrong I have
newer used that software before.

But I tried to draw text twice first black and then white with little
x/y offset. Much better results than pure white over light
background.Thanks for the good tip! I think I can live with it now
without actual outline with texts. 

Thanks and Best Regards,
