CSS - Is it possible to add a black outline around each character in text?
You can simulate it with the CSS 2.1 text-shadow property:
p {
color: #fff;
text-shadow: 1px 0 0 #000, 0 -1px 0 #000, 0 1px 0 #000, -1px 0 0 #000;
}
This is, of course, not supported in IE9 and below. See: http://www.jsfiddle.net/yijiang/UCjgg/ for a simple demo.
While we wait for text-stroke to be widely supported, there's a pretty good "text-shadow hack" generator out there to generate the text-shadow property you need.
