Hi
I think PSTricks (which is automatically available in plain XeTeX) should
allow this. See the PSTricks manual, and some sample code at:
http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=&q=pstricks+tp-test.ps&sourceid=navclient-ff&rlz=1B3GGLL_en-GBGB380GB380&ie=UTF-8
Hope this helps.
John

My sincere thanks to Mojca to her suggestion for implementing
drop shadows in XeTeX, which I am investigating further as
I write. Now I have a second problem for the same task.
Whilst signs 1 & 2 are linear, sign 3 requires text to be
typeset on a path (in practice, on two ellipses : see attachment [1]),
and once again I would be most grateful for any suggestions
as to how this can be accomplished using XeTeX.
I've seen this done in PostScript, but not directly in PDF.
Surely Tikz has a method for this ???
I'm interested in good answers so that I can reply to
a question about reproducing things like in the attached
image, using Xy-pic. It's only the text effect that
is not so easy.

Note that the upper and lower text are set on two different
"concentric" (?conelliptic?) ellipses, such that the x-height
of the lower text abuts the same ellipse as the baseline of the
upper text.
