Is there such a thing as font with white lettering and a thin black border around each letter? I think it may be called outlining. If there is no such font, is there a way to do this in PE3?

Thanks!

Hi

Check out the font sites in the Helpful links forum .. there are lots of fonts to view.

In elements you can use a thick font ..make it white
then cntrl click on the font layer this should put a selection around your font (marching ants)
Make a new blank layer and make it active
Go to Edit>stroke outline (selection) pick black as your colour and inside for the area, depending on your font size use 10 pix as the width (more or less depending on font and effect wanted)

Hi there ...

You should be able to find a font that has that effect ... on the forum we have a helpful links section and there are lots of font sites listed there, Here is a link to the fonts thread:

I have a few of fonts that do that Academy Engrave, Myriad Standard, Princetown LET and Viva Standard ... but I suspect that there must be quite a lot more :)
