I'm putting the text to a bitmap and then shifting, reversing and copying to get the outline effect. Is there an easier way (less CPU time)? or even a font property? thanks Phuoc Can HUA -- _/__/__/__/__/__/_ www.huaonline.com My Homepage is my Castle Back to top Eudy Silva Guest Posted: Sat Jul 12, 2003 2:02 am    Post subject: Re: How to get Outlined Fonts?

Thanks, Eudy. It looks very complicate. Before I try that out just want to know... did it work for you? and what about the performance? Won't it take a bit long to process each single points in the for() loop? Currently, I'm using RectCopy() and shifting one pixel in each direction to get a kind of bold font (4x Copies). Then at the end, stamp the original text with another color in the centre. I'm just not happy with the performance of this solution. Do you think the other way could help?

It looks complicated but if you use the function I posted (BTW, there's an open brace missing in the beginning of the function) it works as it is. Eudy Phuoc Can HUA wrote: Quote: Thanks, Eudy.
