I can't remember if the list allows uploading a file, but I'll try it. Attached (I hope) is a small sample file. In case it doesn't make it, you can recreate it by creating a simple line at a diagonal, then placing a text box on top. In the text box type or enter enough text to cover the line. I used Junicode 12 points. Select some of the text and apply a 3% white outline. What happens is that the text to which the white outline is applied appears thinner than the other text. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
