Well, slap my butt and call me monkey! I figured it out. One thing about FCP…Certain functions are never where you expect them to be. The TEXT OUTLINE function is not within the initial TEXT PARAMETERS. You access the OUTLINE feature bly selecting the “A” box at the lower right hand side of the Viewer window. SELECT Text…SELECT Outline Text. Bingo! You’re able to create font outlines. Why this function isn’t part of the initial Text/Font parameters is beyond me. Thanks. Thom Sullivan/Comcast
