Hi again: I was mistaken and will close the question soon.
Indeed *textAppearance* works very well. What I did not consider is that the properties I was using "shadow**" are for the entire element and are not being considered "text properties", and as such will be ignored when using "textAppearance". For the elements noticed in the stackoverflow question, I might simply haven't seen it as #333333 on light gray background looks like black.. sorry & thx.
