Hi,
Is it an option to draw twice?
\startMPpage[offset=1DK]
draw lmt_outline [
text = "Auflage Zupfinstrument",
kind = "draw", drawcolor = "blue", rulethickness = 4,
] scaled 10 ;
draw lmt_outline [
text = "Auflage Zupfinstrument",
kind = "both", fillcolor=white, drawcolor = "white",
] scaled 10 ;
\stopMPpage
