I can live with the proposed hack by Mikael. Thank you.
I’m still curious if the developers (Hans, …?) agree with me on the need
for improvement of the lmt_outline feature. Would be nice to hear a
feedback.
No matter what direction you run, things like this always are sensitive
for overlap, so the two-step drawing is what i'd use.
Btw, you can also do this, for less huge shadows:
\startTEXpage
\setupeffect[outer][rulethickness=1pt]
\startoverlay
{\starteffect[outer]%
Auflage Zupfinstrument {\notonaskharabic \textdir TRT کرن}%
\stopeffect}
{\starteffect[inner]\red
Auflage Zupfinstrument {\notonaskharabic \textdir TRT کرن}%
\stopeffect}
\stopoverlay
\stopTEXpage
Best regards
Emanuel

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

Dear list,
it seems that when using lmt_outline and kind=„reverse“, the
drawing order is drawcolor of letter one, then fillcolor of
letter one, then drawcolor of letter two, then fillcolor of
letter two, and so on. The result is that the previous letters
are covered by the drawcolor of the following letters, which is
not beautiful and makes the text less readable.
I think the correct drawing order should be drawcolor of all
letters, then fillcolor of all letters.
Btw ligatures (fl in „Auflage“ and fi in „Zupfinstrument“ in
following mwe) are spared from this cumbersome behavior.
I need the desired behavior with Arabic text at the moment, but
any script is actually affected.
