Option to outline text

Requesting Bentley to add the option to outline text in a user specified color. This will help the text to stand out against aerial imagery.
I'm already aware of the background option. Looking for something that contours to the text.
Thank you.

    Even if it were done through a separate command, similar to Word's Text Art functionality, we would have the ability to outline text, or even create text shadows.

    With the old .RSC stick fonts, you could copy the text and make one a heavier weight and lower priority in 2D or lower elevation in 3D and achieve an outline. But TrueType fonts won't do this as they do not show weight changes.

    I have been seeing and making this request since MicroStation-J, so I am not holding my breath on this wish...
