Hey everyone,

I need to add subtitles to a game and with the text being white, it isn’t always readable on light backgrounds.

So I would like to outline my text with a small line of black in addition to the shadow that Unreal already provides. Would anyone have any tips, idea for this problem? I’m using UE 4.10

Thank you, guys!

Proper font outlines in UMG are not yet supported,
If you are comfortable modifying the engine source you can try this fix from sds-michael

otherwise it might be sufficient to draw multiple black versions of the text in the background with slight offsets (N, E, S, W)

Ah, that explains it all, thanks for your answer!
