text-stroke vs text-shadow
Two CSS techniques for outline text: (1) -webkit-text-stroke — real outline (99% browser support). (2) Stacked text-shadow — 8-direction shadows at 0 distance simulate an outline. Stroke wins for thick lines; shadow looks more natural at 1–2 px. This tool uses stroke by default.
