When rendering text on inhomogenous background I think that maximum readability could be achieved by drawing a thin white outline around the black text characters. How hard would it be to add this feature to the library?

This is not supported by Win32 or X11.

However, you can quite easy get the effect yourself, just draw the text 5 times (draw it with offsets (-1, 0)(1, 0)(0, 1)(0, -1) in white, then at (0, 0) in black) Smile

Draw implementation would be no different...
