I played about with the number of shadow layers and added a wee bit
randomness which gave a nice effect. See the code below and the attached
png.
Best Wishes

\startMPcode
steps := 30 ; % number of shadow layers
rulesize := BodyFontSize/steps/3;
for step = 1 upto steps:
draw lmt_outline [
text = "\bf\strut #1",
kind = "fillup",
fillcolor = "tshade",
rulethickness = (step*rulesize),
]randomized 3;
endfor;
draw lmt_outline [
text = "\bf\strut #1",
kind = "fillup",
fillcolor = "white",
rulethickness = 0,
];% yshifted (BodyFontSize*2/3); % TODO
\stopMPcode

Please, can you explain why the result of lmt_outline is shifted to
the right, if I use it in a macro?
no time now but you can do this instead of the lmt_text:
draw lmt_outline [
text = "\bf\strut #1",
kind = "fillup",
fillcolor = "white",
rulethickness = rulesize,
];
(maybe spaces creep in due to loading font files / setups or so)
Thank you!
Yes, this works, and with rulethickness=0 it even looks like I wanted
it to.
