All browsers, with the exception of Internet Explorer (even the IE9 beta, apparently) support text-shadow, and additionally, webkit browsers seem to understand -webkit-text-stroke. But how to emulate text stroke in Internet Explorer? I’ve had a look at the available filters and it seems to me that none can be used to simulate this, apart maybe from Glow, but it creates a blurry glow, not a solid outline.

Is there any way to achieve this using CSS and/or Microsoft filters/behaviours and/or JavaScript?

I don’t need the solution to work in ancient versions of IE, my layout isn’t going to be optimised for IE7 or earlier.

    There’s this here that I dug up from a while back:

    I can’t test if it actually works or not though since I’m using a mac at the moment. It looks like a bit of a dirty hack as well. But it might be worth a try 😛
