%    \section{Introduction}
%
%    Doug Henderson has provided some routines in METAFONT to create
%    outlined versions of arbitrary METAFONT fonts. They can be found
%    on the CTAN in the directory
%    \texttt{tex-archive/fonts/cm/cmoutlines} together with some
%    sample files which show outlined versions of a few computer
%    modern fonts.
%    This package provides means to use suich outlined fonts in \LaTeXe.
%
%
%    \section{Usage}
%
%    This file can be used as a package by placing its name
%    in the argument of |\usepackage|. Afterwards some new commands
%    are defined which are described below. Note that before these
%    commands can be used a font has to be selected. This is done with
%    the following command:
%
%    \DescribeMacro{\SetOutlineFonts}
%    The command |\SetOutlineFonts| initializes the fonts used for
%    the outlining macros. The first argument is a font specification
%    as used by \verb|\newfont|. Note that no spaces are allowed at
%    the beginning. This font is loaded together with a font which has
%    an \verb|o| prepended to its name. The font specification may
%    contain scaling instructions. Thus the following invocation is
%    legal: 
%
%    \verb|\SetOutlineFonts{cmbx12 scaled \magstep2}|
%
%    This instruction requires the tfm files of the fonts
%    \texttt{cmbx12} and \texttt{ocmbx12} to be loadable in the given
%    sizes. The font with the prepended \verb|o| is assumed to contain
%    the outlined version of the font without the leading \verb|o|.
%
%    \DescribeMacro{\outline}
%    The command |\outline| typesets its argument in a box using the
%    outlined font declared with \verb|\SetOutlineFonts|.
%
%    \DescribeMacro{\OutLine}
%    The command |\OutLine| typesets its third argument in a box
%    using the outlined font declared with \verb|\SetOutlinedFonts|.
%    The interior of the characters is drawn in the color given as
%    first argument. The outline is drawn in the color given as second
%    argument. The colors can take any color names accepted by the
%    color package. Thus
%
%    \verb|\OutLine{yellow}{red}{Outlined text}|
%
%    typesets the text ``Outlined text'' in yellow bordered in red.

%
%    \section{Implementation}
%
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
\RequirePackage{color}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
%    \begin{macro}{\SetOutlineFonts}
%    The macro |\SetOutlineFonts| loads the fonts for the outline macros.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newcommand\SetOutlineFonts[1]{%
  \newfont\OL@i{o#1}%
  \newfont\OL@ii{#1}%
}
%    \end{macrocode}
%    \end{macro}
%
%  
%    \begin{macro}{\outline}
%    The macro |\outline| typesets its argument with the outline font.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newcommand\outline[1]{\mbox{\OL@i #1}}
%    \end{macrocode}
%    \end{macro}
%
%    \begin{macro}{\OutLine}
%    The macro |\OutLine| typesets its argument with the outline
%    font.  The interior is filled with the color given as second
%    argument. The color of the outline is given as third argument.

%    \begin{macrocode}
\newcommand\OutLine[3]{%
  \mbox{\rlap{\textcolor{#1}{\OL@ii #3}}\textcolor{#2}{\OL@i #3}}}
%    \end{macrocode}
%    \end{macro}
