In case anyone's interested, I've created a small Java applet which
displays a string in an outline font. In fact I was aiming at this exactly -
displaying the vertical Mongolian-inspired cursive text of my would-be
conlang. However, the applet can display horizontal and oblique fonts
as well - only there are no fonts yet :)

The applet, its source code and my font will soon be available
from my web page http://www.crocodile.org/~trivee for anyone
to use (under Artistic license). I'm also willing to help anybody
to create their own fonts.
