Hi,
I have created an illustrated Gimp tutorial that demonstrates how to make
colored text with a sharp black outline:
http://www.obscurasite.com/artstuff/tutorials/gimp-text-outline/
I made the tutorial after seeing the question several times here in
gimp-user.
If you are new to the Gimp there are some basic things in the tutorial
that will be useful beyond the text exercise.
If you are a seasoned Gimp professional please take a few moments to
review the tutorial for accuracy.
I have also contacted admin at www.gimp.org to see about setting up a
central repository for links to Gimp tutorials around the web.
(tutorials.gimp.org)
Thanks and happy Gimping!
