I was wondering if somebody has some pointers regarding font effects? I searched google, but nothing useful came up. I am pretty sure somebody has done it before!
Basically, I would like to apply “glow”, “outline”, “shadow” etc. effects to text I am outputting. Of course there is also the possibility to use Photoshop, create a font with glow effect and save it as image, but rather than doing that, it would be much easier to have a library which provides basic text effects. The library should be independent of the font, i.e. if I use Arial, the effects should work with Arial.
Edit: I guess “shadow” shouldn’t be too hard to do … but how about glow, outline etc?
