For a simple shadow effect, draw the glyph offset from its normal position by, say, 2 pixels in each dimension, then draw it in its normal position. You can improve on this by drawing the glyph in white at an intermediate position between the two positions, to separate the shadow from the actual glyph; and by drawing the shadow at lower intensity, etc.
