Does anyone know where I can find a white font with a black border that is not transparent?
All the fonts I find are outlined fonts - meaning they have a border but their filling is transparent.
Attached is the font I am using right now and I want it to have black borders. Can anyone help?
Thanks

AFAIK there's no such thing as a "multi-color" font, there are some fonts you can find in both "filled" and "border" versions, so if you want to render it like a white font with black border you have to overlay one filled font color white and one outline font color black.
To complicate things some fonts are a bit different in their outline and filled version so some tweaking is necessary. One thing I did is I took a filled font and create the border version with fontsforge enlarging the existing font and placing it below the "white" one.

You gave me an idea with the double fonts - I am now using the same font, painted black, in a slightly different x,y to create a shadow effect.
It's a small compromise but it's working - the text is easily readable no matter the background color.
Many thanks engineer! ;)
