Hi,

I'm suggesting a slightly different algorithm for drawing viewport text outlines. I attached an image (magnified) with the current outline mode on the left, and the one I'm suggesting on the right. I even took the crazy artistic liberty of drawing a black Y with both styles to show the difference. (The funny thing is that the text+outline stays the same size, it just _looks_ thicker.)

The style on the right is MUCH more readable for small font sizes, especially with multiple overlapping text.

This is a small change but it would be a big visual improvement. (I daresay most people would agree with me.)

Pretty please?

Cheers,
