Hello everyone.

I don't know how I'm going to explain this, but I'll do my best...

I would like to know how to do it, on Paint for example, to use the writing that allows you to see the letters normally with a black outline around them, I can't find this font (where you see "Comic Sans," "Arial," etc...) It would allow me to create images where the text doesn't blend into the background, which is very annoying for reading comfort...

Thanks in advance for the answers and have a good day!

Configuration: Windows 7 / Safari 536.11

Hello.

1) In Word, by going to Format/Font, you can choose the Outline effect, which is particularly effective when the font size is large.
This effect is sadly not available in other software.

2) The text only blends with the background if you have chosen colors that are close to each other; you need to change them. If the text is entered in a text box, you can modify the background color of that text box.

Best regards.

Thank you very much, but the problem with Word is that I won't be able to create images in their own format. The goal is really to use this contour text to insert it into the image on Paint and keep the original format of the image.
Thank you very much for your response.
