anyone know how to do this.  
It would seem that there should be a stroke capability on dynamic text but there isn’t. Thickness will not work as its very limited in values you can enter.

Also using a bold set behind will not work with this type either.

I had this issue on another project and ended up using images as I didn’t have time to fool around and find a solution. Anyway the issue is back again and I have some time to fool about with it. So I was wondering if anyone has tried to tackle this issue before and had some pointers or pitfalls when dealing with it.

thanks
